About Us

The Potomac Bridle & Hiking Trails Association (PBHTA) is a nonprofit community group dedicated to preserving and maintaining the public trail system that winds through Potomac, Maryland.

Founded in the 1960s, PBHTA emerged during a time when equestrian life defined Potomac. As land was developed, our founders worked with Montgomery County to permanently record many trails as public easements—ensuring these historic routes would remain open for future generations.

Today, our members and volunteers continue that mission by maintaining trails, clearing debris, and advocating for responsible trail use and preservation.
