DNR Brings The Great Outdoors In At The MD State Fair

Citizens and visitors will once again discover the beauty and wonder of Maryland’s great outdoors at the 130th Maryland State Fair, through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) interactive exhibit. DNR Staff and volunteers will be hosting visitors at the fairgrounds in Timonium from Aug. 26 through Labor Day, Sept. 5, Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Monday through Thursday from noon to 7 p.m. “The State Fair provides a unique opportunity for Marylanders to interact with our staff, learn about our natural resources and find out what DNR is really all about,” said DNR Secretary John Griffin. “We invite everyone to stop by, participate in hands-on activities and learn how to enjoy and care for our State’s extraordinary natural resources.” Visitors will also learn about DNR’s new Youth Fishing Club, the Color Maryland Green art contest, invasive species and volunteer opportunities. To help create a smarter, greener more sustainable future, citizens will learn how planting even one tree can help protect air and water quality, raise property values and save money on energy – and receive a $25 coupon to get started. Some highlights of the DNR exhibit at this year’s fair include:

The Maryland Park Service will display live birds of prey and native Maryland reptiles, through the Scales and Tales program. Young people will learn more about connecting with their natural world through science, new experiences and volunteering, as part of Maryland’s Children in Nature initiative. The 2011-2012 Maryland Bay Game activity book will also be available. Maryland State Park Rangers will share stories about family adventures in State Parks and the best hikes, water trails, campsites and secrets Maryland State Parks have to offer. Aided by a fish tank with common native species, Fisheries Service staff will inspire anglers of all ages to enjoy this time honored recreational tradition. Citizens can help Maryland reach its goal of 100,000 trees by the end of 2012 through the Marylanders Plant Trees program and obtain a $25 off coupon to plant a tree from the Maryland Forest Service. Natural Resources Police officers will provide tips on boating and hunting safety.

Visiting Maryland On Your Next Road Trip | YoTourist

Is a Maryland stopover on your travel itinerary? Now’s the time to reserve a few days or weeks for a stay in the “Old Line State.” Imagine mountain trails graced with shades of autumn and leisurely strolls past misty waterfalls. How about treating yourself to a meal of legendary blue crabs, fresh-caught from the Chesapeake Bay. Catch a glimpse of wild, ponies ambling along sandy shores. Maryland offers its fortunate visitors a multitude of natural, unforgettable vacation experiences. Plus, Maryland offers fantastic Maryland campgrounds and Maryland RV camping resorts which welcome travelers, many in both summer and winter months.

Savvy RV travelers will find Savage River State Forest, near the town of Grantsville in Maryland’s scenic western portion. The state’s biggest forest encompasses almost 53,000 acres on the mountainous Allegheny Plateau, comprised of a combination of woods, streams and fields, with almost half the acreage preserved as wildlands. Savage River’s visitors share hardwood forests of hickory, hemlock, black cherry and poplar with resident deer, black bears and bobcats. Rhododendrons and pink azaleas lend splashes of color to the landscape. Water-based recreation is provided by the Savage River Reservoir where anglers snag bass, walleye and elusive brook trout. Paddlers enjoy whitewater stretches just as surely as hikers, backpackers, mountain bikers and off-road vehicle enthusiasts appreciate Savage River’s well-developed system of multi-use trails. Outdoor activities in the forest span all four seasons, with winter snowfalls prompting an influx of cross-country skiers and snowmobile riders.

Another western Maryland gem is Deep Creek Lake State Park in Swanton. Located on the shores of the state’s largest lake, this park is set on the Allegheny Highlands Plateau at the southern edge of Meadow Mountain. Once inhabited by nomadic tribesmen and Native American hunters, the surrounding area now shelters resident species such as wild turkeys, skunks and opossums. Trails guide hikers through oak and hickory forests and up to the peak of Meadow Mountain. Swimming, fishing, tubing, sailing, skiing and hunting are favorite park pastimes. While winter welcomes ice fishermen and snowmobilers, summer guests can attend programs designed to promote equestrian skills, nature crafts, and fly-fishing. There are even horse-drawn wagon rides and bonfire parties to round out Deep Creek’s outdoorsy entertainment options.
