Known forlake rolandruxtonbaltimore countytrails
Directions

A 500-acre county park just over the city line around a serene lake, with wetlands boardwalks, wooded trails, a nature center, a light-rail stop, and one of the area's best off-leash dog parks (Paw Point). It's the go-to for locals wanting real hiking, paddling, and birding without leaving the metro. Weekend mornings the main lot and dog park fill up fast, so arrive early.
