This segment of the Seneca Greenway Trail, from RT 118 west to Black Rock Road, is 10 minutes to the 9 mile marker, and 25 minutes to the 8.5 mile marker. There is a large patch holly trees and old pine trees along the way to the 9 mile marker.

This is a great trail to really get away and there aren't many people around. The trailhead at the end of Ed Sears is a good starting point, and recently cleared :-) although the grass is a bit high at the start (1/2 mile), so bring your bug spray! Bikes are probably ok? but be prepared to dismount.

The segment east of Riffle Ford is very nice. Well maintained, lots of shade and ferns. Google Maps is not 100% accurate on the trail though. There is trail all the way back to Riffle Ford so that is a great loop to do if you have an hour or so. All of SRT is I think a more pleasant hike or ride with all the shade than the Greenway in those parts. Update: The "parking lot" at this location was fenced off. The lease holder of the lot is WSSC, and it was fenced due to the repeated dumping of construction debris there. But there is plenty of parking on the side of the road.
