Review:

Gunpowder Falls State Park is an expansive 18,000-acre public recreation area stretching across six separate day-use areas in Baltimore and Harford Counties, primarily anchored around the Gunpowder River and the stream beds of the beautiful Big and Little Gunpowder Falls. As one of Maryland's largest state parks, the park offers over 120 miles of hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding trails, along with ample opportunity for a wide variety of water sports. The park's primary swimming beach is offered at its Hammerman Area, which is operated between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Fishing, kayaking, and inner tubing are also offered at the 3,620-acre Hereford Area in northern Baltimore County, including a designated trout management area near the Prettyboy Reservoir. Other attractions include the historic Jerusalem Mill Village sites of the Central Area, the converted rail trail of the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail Area, and the boating resources of the Dundee Creek Marina.
