Reply to comment by Loudermilk420 in As someone new to the area and wanting to get into hiking, any recommendations on where to start and what trails to pursue (with car park)? Also shoe recommendations would be great. Woman with a bit of flat feet here. by BeyondRecovery1

Thanks, I guess my hiking question was more around what trail should a starter pursue ? And kind of knowledge plus location sort of question. If that makes sense?

I didn’t mention safety but are they all pretty safe around here?

Fort howard is safe and easy. North point is safe and easy. None of the places i mentioned are tough hikes. Just safe little parks with some woods and cool stuff. Be a little weary of armistead park tough best of luck

Thanks for the pointer, I’ll watch out for that one! :) I hear cherry hill is also to be avoided do you know?

Probably referring to Middle Branch Park. Probably not that dangerous now, but definitely not hiking. It’s like a paved sidewalk. Nice walk; decent chance your car gets broken into; not hiking nor especially scenic.

Good to know, I will avoid. Thanks! What other trails should I avoid so that my car doesn’t get broken into?

Honestly none that I know of. Middle branch is just a park with an asphalt path- wouldn’t call it a trail. Mostly anything with trails will be safe, maybe sans leakin park and possibly parts of herring run but even those should probably be perfectly fine
