The Herbert Run Greenway is a 1.4 mile loop connecting several natural spaces on the UMBC campus. As you spend time on the HRG, you will encounter historic trees that predate the American Revolution, a sculpture garden inspired by the work of Joseph Beuys, an upland forest teeming with wildlife, and much more.
Here is the official new trail map for the HRG now that the construction of the event center is complete:
The map presents the Herbert Run Greenway (HRG), a 1.4‑mile loop that winds through natural and cultural spaces on the UMBC campus. A yellow line traces the official trail route, updated after the construction of the Event Center. The loop connects several highlighted areas, including the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park, Pollinator Gardens, CERA (Pig Pen Pond), and multiple forested sections. Numbered markers (1 through 5) identify trailheads and key points along the route. The map emphasizes the variety of environments the HRG passes through historic trees, upland forest, water features, and art installations while also showing nearby campus landmarks such as athletic fields, parking areas, and research spaces. The overall layout communicates a continuous, accessible walking path that blends nature, art, and campus life.
