Review:
Gunpowder Falls State Park is one of the largest state parks in Maryland, formed in 1959 to protect the magnificent Big and Little Gunpowder Falls as well as the Gunpowder River. Divided into six distinct areas, the park covers 18,000 acres of diverse ecosystems, ranging from rugged slopes to tidal wetlands. The park has over 120 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, the Wildlands Loop, fishing areas, and significant historic sites.
It is great for kayaking and canoeing, and a small but nice swimming beach provides a cooling dip during the hot summer months. There is also a marina. The park is very popular with anglers as it is known for great trout fishing.
