The Wild Side of Maryland: An Outdoor Guide

This book celebrates the diversity of this compact yet complex state, from the mountains of Garrett County to the dunes of Assateague Island. Hike the Appalachian Trail at South Mountain one weekend and ride bikes beside the marshes of Blackwater National Refuge near Cambridge the next. Come winter, one can ski the cross country trails at New Germany State Park near Frostburg, fish for trout on the big Gunpowder Falls north of Baltimore or hunt fossils at Calvert Cliffs State Park along the western shore of the Chesapeake. This book is written for residents and visitors alike.
