GPS N39.66469, W77.53604 The Google map link shows the parking as pretty far from the AT. I took the reading on my GPS and we were parked right at the AT crossing of MD 491. There is a lot of available parking along the shoulder of the road. 11/01/08 Many

This is the same map as in the previous listing, but showing the street view. Rotate the street view to the southeast. The southbound trail goes behind the guard rail on the right side of the road, parallels the highway for a bit before bearing right into the woods. Rotate the street view to the northeast. Note the post with white markings on the left side of the road. This s the trailhead for the northbound AT. The street view also shows the availability of roadside parking. 01/16/10

From MD 491 take Warner Gap (Hollow) Rd. - a gravel road - take 1 mile east the parking is between the the stream and the AT crossing. We observed at least one car parked along side of the road. You could probably get more along here. 11/2/2008 a few

Foxville Road (MD 77)
   Poor           Great



 
From I-70 exit 35, take Mapleville Rd. (MD 66) north. In 4.8 miles, turn right onto MD 64 then in another 1.2 miles, turn right onto Foxville Road (MD 77). Go about 2 miles to the trail crossing. There are Appalachian Trail highway signs marking the crossing. This is just east of the intersection of MD77 and Hopkins Lane. A fairly recent relocation has moved the trail crossing further east. The old crossing was in a built up area and there was no parking available. Some roadside parking is possible at the new crossing. You should be able to get off the pavement. Overnight parking would certainly be unwise. 1/16/10 1-2

The northbound AT meets Foxville Road (MD 77) in the forested area just east of Hopkins Lane on the satellite view of the attached map. The marker on the map indicates the crossing. The AT then crosses the field on the north side of the highway. A thin line may be seen going north to south across the field. This is the trail. Rotate the street view to the south to see the southbound trail and the available roadside parking. Rotate to the north to see the northbound trail entering the field. 01/30/08

I found a MD State Parks Employee who was cleaning up some debris in this parking area and he confirmed that it was okay to leave my car for an extended time. 8 days later I returned and everything was fine. 09/03/20
