Bell Lap Trail is a short, flat out-and-back mountain biking route in Maryland, about half a mile from the community of Belvedere Woodland. The trail is easy to ride, with a total round-trip length of less than a mile and an elevation gain of about 63 feet from the low point at 76 feet to the high at 110 feet. The trail is leash-required for dogs, so keep a leash on hand if you're riding with a pet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Solomons, Maryland, run around 74°F highs and 58°F lows in May and about 69°F highs and 53°F lows in October, while July highs typically reach 88°F. Several other routes lie within a mile. The Old Yellow trail and the White Trail are both mountain biking options, the West Lake Trail is a hike about 1.5 miles away, and paddlers can find McIntosh Run roughly 7 miles off.
