Spend a Sunny Spring Day at Patapsco State Park

When you need a quiet moment, one totally set apart from the busyness of daily life, step out onto the suspension bridge at Patapsco State Park‘s Avalon Area, and just pause for a moment. Watch the river’s waters rush by below your feet. Feel the gentle sway of the wooden bridge. Listen to the soft sounds of the wildlife around you. The outside world may begin to melt away.

If a stroll across the bridge isn’t enough to bring the calm vibes, then a hike to the waterfall should be. Locals love to get some exercise on the hiking trails at Patapsco State Park with its beautiful waterfall as their reward for the effort! The park also plays host to picnic tables and pavilions where you can sit down for a quick bite before heading back down the trail. Keep an eye out for the remnants of a former flour mill along the way!
