Outdoor Activities in Maryland

Maryland is a great place to enjoy the great outdoors. From its rolling mountains to its sandy shores, Maryland offers areas to hike, bike, fish, canoe, and camp. Our state public lands offer accessible amenities and outdoor recreational opportunities, from campsites, playgrounds and visitor centers, to fishing piers, hunting areas and park trails.

Create your own outdoor adventure, or let an experienced outfitter be your guide with activities available through the Maryland Park Service's partnerships with private guides and outfitters. New state park and forest trail guides are available, featuring high quality topographic maps and wildlife, fishing and camping opportunities across the state.
