The Montgomery County (MoCo) South presented in Mountain Biking the Washington DC/Baltimore Area combines multiple trails in Montgomery County, MD, including portions of Schaffer Farms, The Seneca Ridge Trail, The Seneca Bluffs Trail, the Muddy Branch Trail and a portion of the C&O Canal Towpath. The ride is a culmination of an effort that began in the mid 90s when MORE representatives began work on the trails at Schaffer Farms to one day provide connectivity between the parks along the Seneca Creek stream Valley. The majority of this loop runs along classic MoCo singletrack. If you have the legs for it I highly recommend it
The MoCo South loop traverses a portion of the iconic C&O towpath.
