Oregon Ridge Park is a 1,000+ acre park in Northern Baltimore County. They have a great nature center on site that is open 9-5 Tuesday-Sunday. The nature center staff is very friendly and there are lots of native animals to see- live and taxidermy. The nature center also offers programs nearly every weekend which are very affordable. The park itself has a great trail system and many historic features of when it was a mining town.

Oregon Ridge is a great place for an after work or short weekend hike. the trails are well marked and there are some great views. A lot of people use these trails so don't expect solitude.

This is a nice trip up to Hunt Valley to the park. There are alot of trails to do hiking and a awesome nature center to visit. For me the best time to go there is in the Fall!!

Love to take my daughter to the playground here and run outdoors. There is also a lake and nature center. They also have scheduled events like campouts, nature hikes and demonstrations.

Oregon Ridge was a tiny iron-mining town, and the park gave us an appreciation for that. The trails and markers were very enjoyable and helpful. We also walked down to the lake and were impressed by its size and beauty, as we viewed it with a layer of ice on its surface. A memorably couple of hour. Oh, and there were displays of agricultural things--and chickens and a lone, literally hen-pecked duck, too. Kids will enjoy this, too.

Went with my wife for a mini vacation day. We began with a pleasant walk on the well-marked trails. I strongly recommend printing out a trail map before you go--there were none in the boxes by the trail heads. We walked most of the park in about 1.5 hours. Some steep parts and a little crossing of streams on rocks, which made it fun for us but might challenge some. Almost the entire area is wooded, so despite warm temperatures it was an enjoyable walk.After our walk we visited the nature center, which is minimal but informative (and it has clean restrooms). We then visited the forge area which had many very interesting stations describing the history of the forge and the processes for mining iron ore and marble. This was our favorite part of the experience.My plan was to then spend the rest of the day at the beach. Once we got in, however, I was disappointed. The sanded area is very small and there were a LOT of little children everywhere. My idea of a quiet place to set up an umbrella, have a picnic lunch, and pretend we were on the ocean shore was not to be. Paid $7 each to get in, so we decided to just stay anyway despite the craziness. Water was warmer than expected, which was nice, but the wading/swimming area was very small, with three lifeguards watching over hoards of kids, so it wasn't much fun for an adult couple. Overall a positive experience though. Hope somebody finds this info helpful.

There is a nice visitors center and lots of hiking trails. There's a pond not far from the parking lotwith cat tails and frogs. Interesting old buildings border a short trail. Some of the trails cover hilly, rocky terrain but there are also short flat trails that work well if you have very young children.

Come every summer to the Wine in the Woods Festival. In addition to all the great wines to be sampled/purchased, there is food, vendors and live entertainment. There is a playground for children and loots of placed for a pick nice.

This park has some great trails that are well marked. There is a neat lake/quarry you can hike around. The entire park is well isolated from traffic or other noises/views and it was pretty cold the day we went so there weren't too many people on it. In some spots we had a climb across a small stream to stay on the path. The visitor center well exceeded my expectations with some very cool taxidermy and live turtles.

There is a great playground that my son has loved since he was little. There is also a free nature center. Great way to spend a morning or afternoon.
