The answer &#8212; not very far, the trail dead ends in sight of the Boundary Channel Drive ramp (EXIT 10A) off of Interstate 395. Along the way I saw the remains of a very small campfire. After the pavement ends there is a well-worn off road trail. I figured, that despite being on our near the Pentagon, why not and took it. Clearly, many others had, so I saw where it went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unpaved, unofficial trail led me to Boundary Channel Drive and sidewalks and other paved trails. A hybrid bike can handle the unpaved portion with intermediate difficulty. It was a small adventure that completes a loop across Boundary Channel and back to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/lyba\/index.htm\">Lyndon B. Johnson Grove<\/a> which may have supplanted the name Lady Bird Johnson Park or is part of it. The National Park Service mentions the former, not the latter though I always remembered seeing Lady Bird signs and <em>The Post<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/gog\/misc-locations\/lady-bird-johnson-park-and-lyndon-baines-johnson-memorial-grove,1027377.html\">has a page that includes both<\/a>. It is a bit confusing and some clarity from NPS would be appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/wfyurasko\/9037560052\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/3760\/9037560052_33ffc757bd_b.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Humpback Bridge bicycle trail tunnel\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, there is a sign prior to the Humpback underpass indicating the trail ends.
