We’re always on the lookout for unique hikes in Maryland. The following spot is unlike anything we’ve seen, with so many different natural features and plant-life, you may think you’re in Disney’s The Jungle Book. Check out Cedarville State Forest for diverse scenery that must be experienced in person.

Cedarville State Forest covers 3,510 acres of area in Southern Maryland.

The Piscataway Indian Tribe often made this spot their winter camping ground due to a milder climate and more game. In fact, some say there's a hidden Indian burial ground located here, but it has yet to be found.
