EPIC Trails
EPIC has created two model public equestrian trail systems in Montgomery County: the Breezy Loop Complex and the Dry Seneca Trails.
“Do you mean to say, I can come ride these trails any time!?”
—Sandy Boyd, after riding the Breezy Loop Trails for the first time in October, 2021
The Breezy Loop Complex is located in Boyds, MD in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve, and the Dry Seneca Trails are located along the Dry Seneca stream valley in Poolesville, MD.
These sanctioned equestrian trails traverse both private and public lands. EPIC manages trails through regular maintenance providing environmentally correct alignments, controlling erosion, removing trash and monitoring equestrian trail usage. All EPIC trails are posted with numbered sign posts to help riders stay on course and to reference if calling for help in an emergency. Scroll down for trail descriptions and maps.
Since 2022, EPIC has added two new trails to its Breezy Loop Complex: Mike’s Loop in honor of EPIC founder, Mike Rubin, and The Kay Family Trail, named for the Kay Family Foundation, a great supporter of EPIC over the years. EPIC is working on making its trail maps more user-friendly including developing interactive and digitized maps.
EPIC sponsors trail rides on its network of trails. Join us for a trail ride and learn more about preserving equestrian access to trails and open space and consider adopting a trail.
