A Maryland state park along the Patapsco River with many separate areas (Avalon, Orange Grove, Hilton, Hollofield, McKeldin, Glen Artney and more), extensive trails and wayside interpretive signs about the valley's history and ruins. Several areas and trailheads close when full on busy weekends, so arrive early.
