Explore the natural beauty of Maryland on foot. Maryland affords a
rich variety of natural places for residents and visitors to enjoy,
from the Chesapeake shores through expansive Piedmont farmland to
the Appalachian Plateau. And whether you're headed to the seashore
or the mountains, there are few better ways to experience these
landscapes than on foot. With its excellent system of public
lands-including national parks, state parks and forests, and even
privately owned tracts open to the public-Maryland offers ample
opportunities for hikers to find easy walks, challenging trails,
and outstanding views. In Hike Maryland, Bryan MacKay takes you on
twenty-five exceptional trips on the footpaths of the Free State.
Drawing on his decades of experience as an avid hiker, lifelong
Marylander, and expert naturalist, MacKay has assembled a list of
the best hikes in the state. His beautifully illustrated guide
tells you how to find the trails, describes the flowers and
wildlife you'll see along the way, and shares sensible advice about
such concerns as ticks and poisonous snakes. Each individual trail
guide includes key information, a map, and background on the
natural history and ecology of the park, forest, or preserve, and
offers a brief essay featuring a local plant, animal, or
environmental issue. Whether you are venturing out on a solo trek
on the Appalachian Trail, hiking with friends through Patapsco
Valley State Park, or heading to Assateague Island with your
family, this book will be an invaluable resource on your journeys.
Hike Maryland is a companion guide to Cycle Maryland and Paddle
Maryland.
