The Remarkable Bridge In Maryland That Everyone Should Visit At Least Once
Did you know that there’s a state park in Maryland with not one but TWO swinging bridges? Today we’re highlighting the Patapsco Swinging Bridge, which is located in the Avalon/Orange grove area at Patapsco Valley State Park. This unique structure is worth a visit, plus it’s surrounded by some stunning scenery.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
That's over 14,000 acres!
If you've never walked across a swinging bridge before, you're in for one unique experience.
If you're afraid of heights, don't look down. You can see the water down below between the wooden planks. Keep your eyes ahead and you'll be just fine.
Plus, this crossing is particularly gorgeous during autumn.
This natural wonder is a mere quarter hike from the parking lot.
