Boasting an excellent location on a 32-mile stretch of the Patapsco River, Patapsco Valley State Park encompasses more than 16,000 acres of land and offers over 200 miles of hiking and multi-use trails. There are plenty of exciting recreational opportunities in the park, including horseback riding, canoeing and kayaking, hiking, and picnicking in one of the park's designated picnic areas. Campsite reservations are recommended, particularly during the busy summer months, and camping gear can be borrowed free of charge from the park. All campsites have fire pits and picnic tables, and campers have access to washrooms and shower facilities.
