Understand

Patapsco Valley is easily the largest park (save the narrow Rock Creek National Park) in the densely populated section of the country between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. As such, it is quite popular with day-trippers and campers alike seeking to escape the suburban sprawl for a while, and to explore its natural and historic sights.
