Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland, USA

PictureThe Cascade in Cascade Trail.
     On a whim I decided to Facebook Ryan Seth of the Annapolis Running Shop in Maryland, USA for some tips on trail running in the area.  Here is their FB page as well.  Ryan rustled up some savvy trail runners and we headed out to Patapsco Valley State Park just to the east of Baltimore, MD.  Check out their site as their PDF maps are printable and highly detailed.

Thanks again Ryan and Josh for coming with me, enduring my calls for reshooting pictures and worse, running that hill just one more time!  I had a great run and hope to come down again sometime.

Heading down the Cascade Trail.
It was such a treat for me because of the 40-50 F weather and no snow or ice.  The trails were in great shape as well.

Most trails are well marked.

The Patapsco Valley State Park preserves precious local natural landscapes and creatures, true, but it also protects numerous historic sites with deep roots in the region’s past. I truly appreciate your great post!

    I have been trail running for about 30 years and am rejuvinated by it. Breathing deeply in the woods and wild places is something everyone should do, what ever their capability.
