Thumbnails to Show You the Way

Please note: The Boyds Run Trail Parking Area is located off of Shenks Ferry Road. The driving directions and the GPS coordinates are correct.

  1. Start at the yellow gate. Walk around it and follow Trail 2 through the pine trees and up a slight hill that bends to the right and then the left.
  2. At the Y intersection with Trail 2a, keep left to stay on Trail 2. The woods should be on your right and a farm field on your left.
  3. At the end of the field, turn right and follow Trail 2 into the woods.
  4. Continue on Trail 2 (do not turn left onto the Mason Dixon Trail which is marked with blue blazes) until you reach a T intersection. Turn left here.
  5. At the next T intersection, turn right and follow Trail 2 to the intersection with Trail 2a.
  6. At this intersection, turn left onto Trail 2a.
  7. Follow Trail 2a as it bends to the right for a while. Eventually the Trail will come to a dead-end and the post can be found here.
  8. To return to the parking area, turn around and follow the trail back until you meet the intersection with Trail 2. Continue straight on Trail 2a here and at the next Y intersection, keep left to stay on Trail 2a.
  9. At the next Y intersection, keep left as well to follow Trail 2 back to the parking area.
