La Plata, MD

Travel Guide

Indian head rail trail by the mattawoman creek (doesn't look like a creek) I've come here for years. Highly haunted and I've had my arm grabbed on this trail. Plus a ton of other stories that are to long to include. However in the winter it is empty and scarce of visitors. Truly a gem
