Per Tim Drummond, Charles County Parks & Rec department head, IHRT still has snow coverage in many sections. It has been used by cross country skiers. Parks staff does not plow or treat the trail - they only have heavy duty equipment and don't want to risk damage to the trail surface by plowing or adversely affecting surrounding areas with chemical/salt treatments.
Come on out to ride one of the premier trails in the entire DC metro area. Ride at your own pace, go as far as you desire, and just have a good time! Convenient portolets along the trail. **White Plains indoor facilities closed for the season**
