One of my favorite state parks in MD to look for birds, butterflies and wildflowers. Very well marked trails. More

This is a place near me that I have had the pleasure of going to ever since I was a kid. It is a nice quiet place where you can swim, picnic, go hiking, biking and camping. A good place to go for a family outing. More

NGSP has breathtaking natural beauty. The park rangers do a great job of keeping it clean and nice for visitors. You are more than likely to see bears here in season, and it is fun to watch them More

This is a small state park. The lake is pretty small but they do stock it with trout(during fishing season) A Maryland fishing license would be required with a trout stamp.

The snow fell lightly during most of our visit, but unfortunately did not accumulate.

The Nature Center person was pleasant and knowledgeable. She was an exchange student from Africa. The snack bar was just closing so we didn't get a chance to... More

This was our second trip to New Germany to do some cross-country skiing in the park. The log cabins we stayed in were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Yes, they are rustic.
