There’s something special about a winter hike in Maryland . The local trails are less crowded, quieter, and downright peaceful. And if you happen to go hiking when things are frozen over, the scenic sights can become even more stunning. The following trail in Maryland leads to a winter wonderland that you’ll want to see in person. Grab your jacket, hat, and gloves, and go exploring!
You'll find Maryland's Rocks State Park in Harford County. According to this screenshot, it's home to big boulders, fishing, and tubing, but that's certainly not all.
This Maryland state park also features a waterfall, overlook, and several scenic trails. Here's a look at Kilgore Falls, which is great for visiting year-round. It's especially popular in summer months when people wade in the surrounding natural pool...
...but don't count out this spot during wintertime as well. It's a real-life winter wonderland.
It takes less than a mile to reach the falls from the parking lot. Take the Falling Branch Trail to Kilgore Falls and enjoy the views along the way.
When you arrive at the falls (preferably in January or February), you'll be greeted with frozen formations galore.
Along with surrounding boulders and branches being covered in enchanting ice crystals...
...you may also see the falls completely frozen over if the temperatures drop low enough. How cool is that?!
Be sure to bring your camera to snap photos of the surreal sights.
