Autumn is on the way, with area trees already getting at tinge of color. If you enjoy the outdoors and you’re looking to make the most of the season, then we recommend taking a mini road trip to Rocks State Park. The drive is less than an hour from Baltimore and the fall views are worth the distance.

There are several autumn day trips you could take in the area, but be sure to make Rocks State Park one of them.
