Rock Creek Trail is a mountain biking route in Rock Creek Stream Valley Park in Maryland, about 0.6 miles from the Western Ridge Trail. The trail is rated easy, and the mapped route runs almost flat, with a high point of 184 feet and a low of 182 feet, so there is no elevation gain to plan for. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages climb to about 88°F. Other outings close by include the Franklin Knolls River Trail and the Clifton Park River Trail, both about 4 miles away, and the Little Falls Branch, a canoeing spot about 3 miles off. Climbers can find the South Bank - Roof Area about 4 miles from the trail.
