It’s always a good time for exploring Maryland’s great outdoors. Although warmer weather is a favorite for most adventurers, don’t forget about wintertime hikes as well. When frozen over, some of Maryland’s natural wonders look even more magical. Bundle up, and consider exploring these beautiful spots in the Old Line State after it snows. Bring your camera, too!
1. Muddy Creek Falls
Swallow Falls State Park, 2470 Maple Glade Rd, Oakland, MD 21550, USA
Maryland's highest free-falling waterfall can be found at Swallow Falls State Park. It's always a wondrous sight to see, but being surrounded by icicles and snow takes this spot to a whole other level. See for yourself!
2. Assateague Island
Assateague Island, United States
This barrier island known for its wild horses and white sand beaches is like another world during wintertime. There are fewer crowds, less noise, and just a whole lot of serenity among the snowy sand.
3. Kilgore Falls
Rocks State Park, 3318 Rocks Chrome Hill Rd, Jarrettsville, MD 21084, USA
Head to Rocks State Park to find this natural wonder that's a popular swimming spot during summertime. During winter, parts of the falls and its surrounding pool becomes frozen over, and it looks like it's straight out of a story book.
4. Chesapeake Bay
When temperatures drop below freezing, some of the water bordering the bay becomes frozen over with chunks of ice. It's an amazing sight to see and doesn't last long. Check it out at just the right time and you're in for a winter wonderland experience like you've never seen before.
5. Cascade Falls
Cascade Falls, Elkridge, MD 21075, USA
Located at Patapsco Valley State Park, Cascade Falls can be found along a short trail surrounded by boulders. The trickling water forms intricate icicles during colder months, making for a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the scenery.
