The Laurel Glen Trail is a 1.26 mile trail for mountain bikers. It is accessible from the Backbone Trail in addition to the Black Bear Run Connector Trail. It passes through a mature, complex, deciduous hardwood forest that is dominated by mountain laurel. While this trail is designated for beginner and intermediate riders, users should still exercise caution as the trail is very narrow and in places it runs along the edge of a steep ravine. Riders on this trail seeking a greater challenge might wish to try the Chesapeake Challenge Loop, a side loop off of this trail that novice riders can choose to bypass.
