Gunpowder Falls State Park

The park spans 18,000 acres of diverse landscapes, including dense forests, winding rivers, and streams across central Maryland's natural terrain.

The Jerusalem Mill Village within the park preserves industrial heritage from the 1700s, displaying traditional milling operations and historical structures.

Local residents maintain connections to outdoor traditions through fishing tournaments, nature education programs, and seasonal celebrations at the park.

Visitors can access multiple entrance points, with the Hammerman Area providing beach facilities, boat rentals, and four designated picnic pavilions.

The Gunpowder River flowing through the park creates a natural corridor for migratory birds and supports a cold-water trout population.
