Patapsco Valley State Park - Hollofield Area

"Its a great little park. There are some grills on site, tables as well. Camping needs to be reserved, closed in winter season Trails are mostly easy, except the one that cuts straight to river from the park. That trail around 260 foot, >12 incline very rocky, descending is dangerous, ascending is stamina drain, but if you like challenges its an easy one. I added some pictures so you can see, its very short but definitely a climb. ( please do not throw garbage in the forests, its sad to see people throwing plastic bags & other stuff in parks..)"

"A really amazing place to check out that I just happen to randomly find. My best friends & I went to see Poe's grave & then see a friend in Frederick after. We wanted to find a place to have lunch & boy did we find a place. Looks like there's a few areas to the overall park. The view is amazing & there is a trail down to the river. There was a fee of $4, which is totally worth it. They also offer campsites. There is a playground that is a decent size for the kids."

"Vast woods and trails with access to Patapsco River and fantastic photographs. No matter what your photography skills/ technology, this place will make them look good. Union Dam trail was fun. Steep at times as you go down to the river but a must-do! Sit by the river and take in the calming sound of water rushing over rocks n pebbles accented by the wind rustling the leaves with occasional birds and rare annoying human chatter. All in all - perfect meditative afternoon on a Saturday or Sunday. Good workout as well so you are not wasting time. Bring water! Wear good boots that are slip resistan"
