Hike the Susquehanna Ridge Trail at Susquehanna State Park
What is it with Harford County and its slew of awesome parks?
Nestled in the Northeast corner of Maryland, between the Chesapeake Bay and the river it takes its name from, Susquehanna State Park is gorgeous. A couple miles and a world away from I-95, SSP is expansive and lush. There are 15 miles of trails in the park, and the longest and most difficult is the Ridge Trail.
An out-and-back trail...
Hike the Deer Creek Trail
Because Palmer State Park is still under development (with no timeline given for its completion), there are only a few trails that meander through this 555-acre reserve.

The path is crushed stone, wide, and relatively flat. Dogs are welcome but must be on leashes. On the path to the Lighthouse is a Hawk/Raptor Watch area. At the end of the trail is a the picturesque ...
Hike the White Trail
Park in the lot off of St. Clair Bridge Rd to access the trail. Be aware that some parts of the trail are rocky and/or steep. This trail is dog friendly and is accessible from October through November.
