Located a little over an hour from DC, Gunpowder Falls State Park features 120 miles of trails for hiking and biking, kayaking, fishing and a marina. Divided into six areas, the Hammerman Area offers a low-key, well-maintained beach that is the perfect escape from the city. Maryland residents pay $5 per person and non-residents $7, during weekends and holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day and $3 during the week ($5 for non-residents).
