Choate Mine and Red Run Trail is a 1.9 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Owings Mills, Maryland that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until September.
Some paths were too narrow that we cut Choate short and walked a small portion of Red Run ... otherwise the rocks and the Red Run hill had a nice climb and path to the stream.
I did this hike early April 2018 you start off using the mine trail to get to the red run loop, which in April was pretty swampy at the start and the signage was a little confusing. But on the go the trail was nice a bit narrow at times because of the intense brush but then it fans out towards the dolefield side where you get panoramic views of some townhouses backyards. All wasn’t lost I did sight several deer and lots of birds. All in all a nice loop of the mine trail.
