10 Inexpensive Road Trip Destinations In Maryland That Won’t Break The Bank
Big adventure doesn’t necessarily mean big money. In Maryland, there are several places where you can go that are free of charge (or close to it). Check out these amazing Maryland destinations that won’t break the bank.
Maryland's largest lake is perfect to spend a day (or several) on the water. If you do decide to make this a multi-day trip, then you can still keep prices down by opting to sleep under the stars at a nearby campsite.
The bloodiest one-day battle in American history happened at this historic battlefield. Spend the day exploring the expansive grounds and taking in the scenery.
A beach with a Chesapeake Bay Bridge view! If you truly want to experience Sandy Point State Park to the fullest, then head here first thing in the morning in order to get ahead of the crowds.
Depending on where you live, C & O Canal may be closer than you think! You can visit any part of its 184 miles, making for a perfect day of walking, jogging, or cycling.
A dam doesn't sound too exciting, but at Conowingo Dam, it's all about the wildlife. This place is a hot spot for local bald eagles looking to catch fish. Be sure to bring your camera!
Maryland's most impressive library is hiding in Baltimore, just waiting for you to take in the architectural views. Lovers of reading will especially enjoy this bookish spot.
Possibly the most beautiful trail in Maryland (and one of the most difficult), Billy Goat Trail straddles the mighty Potomac River. Be sure to wear shoes with good tread and prepare for epic scenery.
Kayak among ghost ships at Mallows Bay. The experience is surreal and so worth doing at least once.
Most people know about Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, but fewer know that the Old Line State actually has a few zoos and animal sanctuaries worth visiting. Salisbury Zoo is absolutely free of charge, although donations are encouraged to keep the animals and their enclosures in peak condition.
Janes Island State Park provides secluded areas that you can kayak to, perfect for a quiet day full of sand and sun. You can also camp out here as well.
