MWABA July 14th hike in Patapsco State Park

July 8, 2024

Reminder to sign up for MWABA’s July hike this Sunday in Patapsco State Park. Please sign up by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. We could also use more guides and/or drivers. Email Kevin (kevin.andrews94) if you can drive or if you have any questions.

We’ll be visiting Patapsco Valley State Park in Maryland, aiming to start around 9:30am. We will meet at the Takoma metro stop (on the Red Line) at 8:30 a.m. and drive to the park. Depending on group preferences, there are a couple of options:
• This 5.7 mile option:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47363383 Starts in the Avalon area at picnic grove 105, then hikes on a dirt path with some ups and downs, rocks, and water crossings for 3.3 miles, then crosses a waterfall, goes across a suspension bridge, and then back on a paved path.
• If anyone prefers to mainly walk on the paved path, it’ll be a 4.4 mile out and back. We might also be able to park closer to the waterfall and suspension bridge at the Orange Grove area.
Patapsco costs $3 per person. If folks have any concerns about the cost, please reach out.

We’re excited to have you on the trails with us!
