The park, comprised of 7,000 acres, extends along 12 scenic miles of Seneca Creek, as it winds its way to the Potomac River. The Clopper Day-Use Area contains many scenic areas, including the 90-acre Clopper Lake, surrounded by forests and fields. Picnicking, boat rentals, trails and a tire playground are just some of its recreational opportunities. A restored 18th century cabin and a self-guided path interpret the history of the area. Nearby, the Schaeffer Farm Trail Area offers over 12 miles of marked trails for hiking and mountain biking. For the more adventuresome hiker, the 14-mile Seneca Creek Greenway Trail follows the entire course of the river. During May, the Schwartz peony gardens and field plants are in bloom. This is a Maryland State Park. For full information go to the official webpage. (Link on the right side)
