Wheaton Regional park (a short walk from the Glenmont metro) has some nice hiking trails near(ish) a metro, especially on the east side (near the Brookside Nature Center).
If you're up for a hike, you can go from there to the NW Branch trail by crossing Kemp Mill Road and doing the 3 mile hike south to Burnt Mills. The west side of the river is a hiking / biking trail, while the east side of the river is a hiking-only trail (the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail).
From Burnt Mills, you can keep following the NW Branch, crossing Colesville Road to head south some more.
