Wednesday Walk On "A Trail For All"

My walk today is on a short trail named "A Trail For All" aka the Lillian D. Jenifer Mobility Trail. It is a mobility path that is accessible to anyone including those with mobility issues. Mobility issues includes anyone using a cane, walker, wheelchair and even moms with strollers. The trail is located at Cromwell Valley Park in Baltimore County, Maryland.

There are other areas of the park that people with mobility issues can access also but not all areas so it was nice to see this more recent addition.

There is a small parking area directly across from the path and the path is pretty wide, level and nicely maintained.

There are several placards spaced throughout the path with information on wildlife and plants indigenous to the area.

You will also come across several benches along the way should you need to sit for a spell or if you just want to sit and take in the sights and sounds.

This time of year, many of the summer plants were gone but I still found a few including (what looked like) conehead flowers which was surprising and nice to see and some Queen Anne's Lace.

The milkweed and some other plants, although they had gone to seed, was still quite pretty!

I also found some colorful porcelain berries mixed in and although the colorful berries are pretty, the porcelain vine can be quite invasive. I'm sure they keep it for the birds to enjoy and that they keep a close eye on it to keep it in check.

The path is currently just under than 800 feet round trip but the park is looking to add to that or add additional mobility trails in the future. Hopefully, the expansion happens sooner rather than later so everyone has the opportunity to get out and enjoy all that nature has to offer. 🙂

Thank you @tattoodjay for #wednesdaywalk!!
