Seneca Valley Tour

Map of Route

This is a great route in the Gaithersburg - Germantown area for getting a quick work out. It makes use of the wide side path along Great Sceneca Highway and takes you through wooded Great Seneca State Park on Game Preserve Road. Most of this route is suburban terrain and contains a few challenging hills. Game Preserve and Neelsville Church Road are narrow and so caution should be used here. If you need a more challenging workout, the route will take you past Seneca Creek State Park which has some great off-road ATB trails around the lake (accessible from Longdraft Road).

The suggested starting place is Seneca Valley High School (Faculty Parking Area on North Side). This is easily accessed from I-270 using the Middlebrook Road Exit. Other good starting points include Northwest High School and Watkins Mill High School.
