A 585-acre park with a haunted history, Fort Frederick State Park offers a balance of education and recreation that’s mighty tough to beat. It borders the Potomac River with the the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal serving as passersby. Educational and historic exhibits are located in the fort, barracks, CCC Museum and Visitor Center. The park also organizes many programs including artillery firings, junior ranger activities, a colonial children’s day and the 18th Century Market Fair. Hike the gentle Beaver Pond Trail for a glimpse at wildlife or hit the Western Maryland Rail Trail for 23 miles of paved paths. Some crown it one of the best 12 trails in these United States.
