👍👍 Beautiful walk through the woods on paved trail around a large lake. Pretty year round. Lots of birds and beautiful native wildflowers.

Serpentine Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Prefer to visit this trail on fall and spring. During summer its ok, but vegetation can be quite thick, lots thorny bushes, and ticks on tall grasses. Some parts can be little muddy. rocky areas can be slippery after it rains so wear shoes with good soles for traction and safety. Walking sticks can...

Old Quarry

Hiking area

👍👍 I grew up in Perry Hall and was surprised to see the old quarry. I know nothing about the history of it but would like to learn more. It must have been a very big operation for it's time. It looks like they completely removed/quarried away a massive hill. The location is fairly close to Belair r...

Cascade Falls

Landmark

👍👍 Our favorite hike to do as a family. Quick 10min hike up to the falls then the trail continues on.
