8. Elk Neck State Park

Visit Elk Neck State Park during warmer months for camping and swimming, and during colder months for photo ops like this. Such a gorgeous spot when glistening with ice.

9. Western Maryland Scenic Railroad

Autumn may be the most popular time to ride the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, but a snowy ground makes you feel like you're riding the Polar Express.

10. Cascade Falls

Located in Patapsco Valley State Park, this trickling waterfall is stunning and the hike to get here is just as scenic.
