Description:

The walk is through the historic City of Annapolis, which is also the capital of Maryland and the home of the U.S. Naval Academy. The route follows road shoulders and primarily sidewalks. Annapolis pavements are rough (part of the historic flavor) but suitable for large-wheeled strollers. Dogs are not encouraged due to USNA restrictions. There is an alternate trail that does not go through the Naval Academy or State House. Photo ID needed to enter the Naval Academy. Visitor Bureau hours are: 9-5 daily except Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's Day,
