Check it out.
I’d not only heard of it, I’ve ridden a good majority of the Maryland section. Much of it is on road, but they use trail systems whenever possible, and I learned about some trails I didn’t know existed by following the ECG. Also some really cool, low-stress routes to get into the city of Baltimore and Annapolis.
Most recently, they closed the last gap crossing the Susquehanna River. You’re now allowed to ride across the Hatem Bridge (during certain times of day). I think it used to require a car shuttle.
You can download route maps from ECG, and occasionally you’ll see printed copies of them by state. They’re also working on a phone app.
As I understand it, the ECG is still far less developed and detailed in the southern states, you’ll see a lot of gap areas and “trail route sought” on the maps. It’s largely work being done by volunteers, so support them by going exploring!
