Lake Roland Park

Lake Roland Park spans 503 acres of diverse terrain with wetlands, meadows, hardwood forests, and a central lake in the Jones Falls valley.

The park, established in 1945, contains two National Register Historic Districts and features a preserved pump station from earlier water infrastructure.

The Lake Roland Nature Council manages educational programs, environmental preservation efforts, and recreational activities through partnerships with Baltimore County.

Visitors access numerous trails, two picnic pavilions, a playground, kayak launch points, and a dog park within the protected natural environment.

The southwest section contains serpentine barrens, a specialized ecosystem that supports rare plant and animal species found nowhere else in the region.
