Hiking Greenbrier State Park- Boonsboro, Maryland
Some highlights of hiking the Red Loop of Greenbrier State Park as well as the Copperhead Trail. It was a great hike since there was still snow on the ground. As the day progressed the snow slowly started to melt and our boots ended up getting real muddy. Greenbrier State Park was stocked trout and there were a bunch of fishermen fishing.

Greenbrier State Park Campground review
We did an overnight trip here. We got there at around 8pm and stayed slept a night of very quiet peaceful sleep. We stayed here until about 5pm the next day, but since I didn't feel like hiking, we decided to go home.

Fort Frederick State Park Aerial in Maryland
This aerial video celebrates For Frederick's beautiful setting on Maryland's shore of the Potomac River. Across the river you can see the gorgeous hills of West Viriginia.
The stone fort built in 1756 protected Maryland’s frontier settlers during the French and Indian War. Fort Frederick is unique because of its strong stone wall, large size, and roomy barracks. Fort Frederick also saw service during the American Revolution as a prison for British soldiers. For the next 131 years, the fort and surrounding lands were farmed. During the Civil War, Union troops were often stationed near the fort to guard the C & O Canal.

Kemp's Mill - Williamsport, Maryland - 1794
Kemp's Mill - Williamsport, Maryland - 1794
GREAT FLOOD OF 1877
AT KEMP’S MILL
At the old Booth’s mill, now owned by Mr. Q. A. Kemp, situated where the Williamsport and Boonsboro’ road crossed the Antietam, one mile east from Breathed’s Station, the scene was exceedingly exciting. At about 10 o’clock, on Saturday morning, the water had risen considerably and Mr. Kemp had let his gates down and stopped the machinery of the mill. It rose steadily until about dusk the road, which runs along the side of the dam and considerably above ordinary water, was submerged, and floating logs, trees, fence rails and other things commenced to come down. There was a deep stream running down the road, between Mr. Kemp’s house and the mill, and through the archway, where wagons drive to unload wheat, there was a roaring torrent. By this time the water was so high, that, although there is a high fall below the dam, it could be scarcely seen where the dam was. It was one level sheet of roaring water. The basement story of the mill, containing coal and screening, was inundated; a few bushels of wheat in the sink were also injured. The road above the mill was soon piled up with floating trees, rails, &c., so as to make it entirely impassable. A considerable amount of the floating wood was saved.
EXCITING INCIDENTS.
The injury to the dam was fortunately very slight, only about ten feet of the coping being carried off. A large number of men from the neighborhood had congregated and as drift-wood came down and struck the mill, pulled it out to keep it from damming up the water. The hog pens below the mill were washed away and a fine lot of hogs had been driven out of them, just in time to be saved. A few yards below the mill stands the house and blacksmith shop of Mr. Joseph Garver. The basement story of Mr. Garver’s house, one room of which is the dining-room and the other a store room, was filled with water to the ceiling, injuring the furniture and ruining a great many housekeeper’s stores in the store room. Mr. Garver had his garden fence washed away and also had all his vegetables washed from his garden. Mr. Garver’s loss was considerable. The torrent that swept around the blacksmith’s shop carried away a pile of coal, about a ton of iron, a lot of wheels and miscellaneous articles and a wheat drill. The last mentioned article lodged at the iron bridge one and a half miles below the shop. The house belonging to Mrs. Booth, a hundred or so yards below the mill, was filled with water and part of the porch carried off. The family, who inhabit it, had to leave it in the night.

Ft Frederick State Park located in Maryland near Big Pool. To get to Ft Frederick take the Big Pool exit off I-70 and drive about two miles south on Big Pool Road and follow the signs to the park. This park is a lovely quiet place to come to if you want to experience a little history or just peace and quiet. Just south of the Fort is the C&O Canal and a first come first serve campground area. Both the Potomac River and Big Pool area on the C&O Canal offer fishing and recreational boating. Just about a mile west of the Fort is the Western Maryland Rail Trail built over the Western Maryland Railway. Both the Rail Trail and the C&O Canal offer plenty of bike riding with nearly 200 miles of combined bike trail miles east and west of the Fort.
We visited Fort Frederick late in the day and most of the activities were over for the day. However, Fort Frederick hosts reenactments for the time periods of the French and Indian War, American Revolution and even the Civil War since this Fort was present for all three conflicts.
Devils Backbone state park in western Maryland
One of the most picturesque and totally relaxing state parks I've run across in some time. Located on Antietam Creek just east of Hagerstown, with a spectacular small dam, and downstream, a footbridge to cross the creek, one can while away hours contemplating the natural beauty, peace, and rich history of this place... Don't miss it any time of the year.
