At the top of my family's list is hiking. Our favorite spots are half an hour northwest of the farm, near Thurmont, MD: the adjoining Cunningham Falls State Park and Catoctin National Parks (home of Presidential Retreat Camp David). Between the farm and Baltimore, just off rt. 26, lies the beautiful lake side hiking at Piney Run on Martz Rd. We prefer the East side of the lake. Between us and DC you can find many lovely opportunities such as Little Bennet Regional Park in Clarksburg, MD, Black Hill regional Park in Boyds, MD, and Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg, MD.
