Pink Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route on the Loch Raven Reservoir in Maryland, set within a network of trails that also includes hikes and fishing access. The out-and-back route is about 2.6 miles long, with a low point of 310 feet and a high of 419 feet, so the climb is only about 125 feet one way. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 77°F, with July warming to about 86°F. Dogs are allowed as long as they stay on a leash. The Shore Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Foundation Run and Yellow Trail are within half a mile. Loch Raven Reservoir offers fishing about 0.9 mile off.
