Enjoy a Spring Walk in Crownsville
The Scenic River Land Trust will put you on the trail of outdoor fun with their 5th Annual Walk in the Woods on Saturday, April 17, from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. (Raindate 4/18). This year’s walk lets you explore the streams, ponds, meadows, and woodlands of Bacon Ridge Natural Area—a 630 acre protected property in Crownsville that will become part of the Anne Arundel County park system. It will be permanently protected through easements held by the SRLT and the Maryland Environmental Trust.
You can hike on your own by followings miles of marked trails or reserve a place on a guided hike. The trails have been kid tested and are recommended for families though no strollers are allowed. Bring your well-behaved canine friend on a leash at 10:00 a.m.
The Walk in the Woods is a free event, but donations to the SRLT are greatly appreciated. Fund raised for the SRLT through this year’s walk will be doubled through a generous matching grant by the Biophilia Foundation
To get to the walk, take Generals Highway to Crownsville Road. Turn right on Marbury Road and follow signs to parking and trail head. Questions? Call 443-597-0063 or email walk@srlt.org.
