100 Best Things to do in Maryland 13/20

Maryland is a great state to visit. There’s a wide mix of things to do here. The state is rich in American Revolutionary and Civil War history. It’s right on the Chesapeake Bay and has maritime roots. Plus, there are parks, rivers, and even part of the Appalachian Trail here. Add the art, brews, and amazing food and you have a great all-inclusive destination.

 

61. Harper’s Ferry National Historic Park (Various)

This National Park spans three states – West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland – and lies between the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. There’s almost twenty miles of trails here, so this is an ideal place to go if you like hiking. Trails range from flat, easy strolls to more difficult climbs to the mountaintops. Spend a day here taking in the natural beauty.

 

62. Washington County Museum of Fine Arts (Hagerstown)

With over 6,500 paintings, drawing, sculptures, and other pieces of art, the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts is a great place to spend an afternoon. Exhibits include European Old Masters, Modernism, art glass, and American decorative arts.

 

63. Soldier’s Delight Natural Environment Area (Owings Mills)

More than 39 rare, threatened, or endangered plant species live in the 1,900 acres of the Soldier’s Delight Natural Environment Area. There are seven miles of hiking trails here but horses and bicycles are prohibited to protect the fragile wildlife. Spend a morning or afternoon here hiking and looking at the rare plantlife.

 

64. Wye Oak State Park (Wye Mills)

This park primarily existed to protect the Wye Oak Tree, which unfortunately fell over in 2002. Today, the 29 acres of the park contains a small building that is believed to be a one room schoolhouse from colonial times which has been restored. When you spend the day here you can also see the Old Wye Mill and Wye Church.

 

65. Battlecreek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary (Frederick)

This is a great place for a day trip when you want to spend the day outdoors. A wooden boardwalk runs through the park and has one of the northernmost strands of bald cypress trees. Do some bird watching at the swamp and learn about the importance of the preservation happening here.
