Matthew Henson State Park
Matthew Henson State Park is a greenway along the Turkey Branch of Rock Creek.〔 The park runs from Aspen Hill to Layhill, Maryland,〔 linking the Rock Creek Trail with the Sligo Creek Trail.〔 The state park is managed by Montgomery County under an agreement with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.〔 It is the only state park in the Rock Creek watershed.〔
The park takes its name from arctic explorer Matthew Henson.〔 A hiking/biking trail through the park was completed in 2009.〔 The trail includes ten-foot wide boardwalks to protect the most sensitive areas and solar-powered emergency cellular phones.〔
==History==
Purchased by the state in the 1950s,〔 the land was originally called the Rockville Facility, which would have connected to Montrose Parkway〔 as a spur to the proposed Washington Outer Beltway.〔 In response to residents' calls to the preserve the stream valley corridor, the Maryland state legislature designated 83 acres of the land as a state park and 117 acres as a county park in 1989.〔〔 The state land is owned by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and the county land is owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC).〔
Planning for the trail began in 2001.〔 After many public meetings and environmental studies, the trail's preliminary plan was approved by the Montgomery County Planning Board in 2003.〔 The Montgomery County Department of Transportation paid for the design and construction, but the M-NCPPC managed the project.〔 Opened May 9, 2009,〔 the project cost $5.7 million.〔 The paved trail also has a wooden boardwalk in environmentally sensitive areas.〔 The trail connects with the Rock Creek Hiker-Biker Trail at Winding Creek Local Park on Dewey Road and continues northeast to Alderton Road.〔〔 The trail's design and construction were nominated for a Planning & Design Award as part of the 2010 National Trails Awards.〔
