    The rock I recently encountered was nothing short of glorious and beautiful. Its rugged exterior, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant hues, captured my attention from the moment I laid eyes on it. The interplay of earthy browns and striking veins of shimmering minerals created a visual feast that seemed to tell a story of ancient geological forces at work. As I held it in my hands, the rock exuded a captivating energy, a tangible reminder of the raw power and beauty of nature. Beyond its visual appeal, this rock possessed a unique sense of resilience. Its solid composition and weight conveyed a timeless strength that resonated deep within me. It was as if the rock had witnessed the passage of centuries, silently observing the ebb and flow of life. Its presence evoked a sense of grounding and stability, reminding me to stay steadfast in the face of challenges. Truly, this rock was a glorious testament to the wonders of the natural world, an object of admiration that brought both aesthetic pleasure and a profound connection to the vastness of geological history.

    One of the finest rock slabs my family has ever visited. Being rock slab fanatics, we have traveled extensively across the country in search of new and exciting rocks slabs. Winter Run Rockslab did not disappoint! It was well worth the treacherous journey through Baltimore city to reach this fine oasis. The mosquitoes were plentiful as promised and the rock was nicely shaped. We will definitely be back again!

    One of the best vacations we've ever taken - the Giant Rockslab is like an oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle that is residential Baltimore. Having a place to rest (I recommend directly on the slab itself) while listening to the creek, and watching the birds fly overhead, was just the respite we needed. A pleasant time will be had by all - definitely take the kids.

    Such a delightful spot!Β  The rock was not as giant, or as... well... slabby as I'd anticipated, but it suited my needs perfectly.Β  The perfect oasis complete with calming gurgling stream sounds to soothe the rush of urban life.Β  I've taken many wonderful strolls along here with a good friend.Β  Highly recommend.

    Traveling in from Australia, we were looking for top nature spots in the US and planned our route accordingly. This was the second stop on the trail, and boy were we impressed! Not since The Mini Woodshed did we find ourselves so at one with nature. I'd highly recommend this for anyone, and will be including this in my memoirs for sure!

    This is a rock. It is the best rock. It is good for sitting. It is not a good skipping rock tho. It is large. And there is no lake to skip it on. But it is still the best rock.

    An excellent place to enjoy one of nature’s finest sloped rock chairs. At a shallow downward angle, the Rockslab provides the passerby with a unique sitting experience that can even be felt up to a half hour after the initial rest.

    My favorite part of the rock is the top notch costumer service. 10/10 would recommend.

    Great place to walk the dog or stroll with a friend. I love to watch the changing seasons here β€” always something beautiful to enjoy! The sound of the creek is so relaxing. Poison ivy and rare native weeds are in splendid abundance! The rock itself is a fascinating geological specimen worthy of extended study! You WON’T be disappointed.

    If what you want is a rock next to a creek that sometimes has warnings about being contaminated by sewage then this is the place to be! Other than that it offers a beautiful view of everyone passing by so you can keep tabs on the neighbors and their social distancing πŸ‘€

    Adds a valuable touch to the local topography and helps keep the ground from blowing away when it's windy.

    I was participating in a "Rock Across America" tour, and this was the last stop on my journey. This was hands down the best stop on the entire tour. I've seen tiny pebbles, enormous boulders, and several pet rocks, but this Giant Rockslab puts all other rocks to shame.

    Simple, side-of-the-road rock! While there are no amenities or additional features here, YOU can bring the fun and good attitude you need for a positive experience, (such is life).
