Calvert Cliffs does not allow dogs? Do they still charge to get in?

St. Mary's Lake?

St. Mary's City and/or St. Mary's College.

St. Mary's Lake?

The Elms may be just the ticket you need

Yeah my dog wanted to be carried the rest of the way. He went home, and crashed. (He is a big dog, and was not carried)

Myrtle Point Park has some nice trails. Dogs must be leashed at all times. Map of trails attached.

is there a fee to get in?

Gilbert Run Park/Lake on Route 6 in LaPlata. It's a great walk around. Indy and I love it. I'm not sure how far it is around but it takes us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on how many pee stops we have ;)

Up your way is the ACLT or American Chestnut Land Trust. Google it... they have several areas that you can walk your dog. At least they did they last time I checked.

Try Lake Jameson (Off of Rt 6) or Patterson Park in Calvert

CC does not allow dogs but the rule really isn't enforced unless there is someone at the front booth. Personally, I don't mind if people take their dogs as long as they pick up after them. Every time I take the path to the beach, there is at least 2-3 piles that I need to avoid. It's just common courtesy people!

And yes, they still charge to get in but again, only enforced when someone is manning the front booth. Other than that, donations are accepted.

This is a bit far away from you, but please join us! It is going to be a great day!

Greenwell in Hollywood has lots of trails and is dog friendly as long as they are on a leash. There is a $3 admittance fee.

Have fun :dance:

I go to Cedarville state park almost every day. I have a retractable leash attached to frame of my moutain bike and my German Shepherd loves it! My beagle stays off leash and lallygags behind. Although dogs are supposed to be leashed, I rarley see it. $3 to get in, lots of trails, streams and a pond to cool them off. I got a season pass for $75, it's worth it for how much I use it.

No fees at any of St. Mary's County public parks.

I think you can use Maxwell Hall also.
