First time here, enjoyed the hike. Lots of people out enjoying the beautiful day which was nice, but harder to find peace and quiet. Not impossible tho! There were easily accessible areas to swim and take coolers to enjoy the nice weather which was cool. Good for a hot day with a lot of good trails with tree coverage. Down in the valley it gets much hotter of course. Cost $3 for parking for the day for one person.

Fun tire park! The kids enjoyed it. Very shaded so good on a hot day. There is a well maintained bathroom. It is part of a camp ground and you have to pay to drive in. $3/person but kids in carseats or boosters are free.

Patapsco Valley State Park is amazing! So many trails to explore. The Hilton Area entrance has a large playground, children's nature trail, pavilions, and bath houses. It's also the start to the Forest Glen trail and a few others.

We enjoy the overlook in this area, with the wide view of the beautiful trees. The playground is small, but there are some great places to walk and hike around. We have returned many times to admire the trees, especially in the fall. The trail was not as clear as usual the most recent time we went, but we could still find our way. Some of the trails are pretty steep here, so not great for young kids, but good for older kids and adults who enjoy hiking.
