There have been days when it's felt like the year 2020 would never end. But the first hints of gold in the leaves suggest otherwise, and as we turn toward autumn, our real estate agents are excited about the prospect of change.
We're also glad to live in a place like Baltimore, where there are so many spectacular places to view the changing leaves. Be sure to include these spots on your fall foliage tour of Baltimore this season!
- Federal Hill Park - 300 Warren Ave, Baltimore, MD 21230
Ask any Baltimore local where they like to go for a walk or run in autumn, and it's a safe bet that Federal Hill Park will be on their list. With an iconic view of the Baltimore city skyline, Federal Hill Park's location on the south shore of the Inner Harbor makes it a scenic spot year-round. But the changing leaves really bring the scenery to life in fall. The park spans over 10 acres, with many miles of nature paths and trails. And with many Baltimore homes for sale nearby, Federal Hill Park is a place you'll want to return to again and again.
- Piney Run Park and Nature Center - 30 Martz Rd, Sykesville, MD 21784
You'd have a hard time finding a more beautiful place for a fall weekend getaway than Piney Run Park and Nature Center. Surrounded by more than 500 acres of rolling hills and woodlands, the park's centerpiece is 300-acre Piney Run Reservoir. It's a popular bass fishing spot, with a mostly-undeveloped shoreline ringed with mature trees that transform into a vibrant canvas or reds and yellows every fall. The Park is just 30 minutes from Baltimore, and a stone's throw from these Sykesville homes for sale.
- Druid Hill Park - 900 Druid Park Lake Dr, Baltimore, MD 21217
Druid Hill Park is one of the largest urban parks in the Eastern U.S., and also one of the oldest. Inaugurated in 1860 (just two years later than New York's Central Park), the park is an endless joy to explore. You could easily spend years living in Baltimore, and still find new discoveries in Druid Hill Park. The park is known for its shady lawns, historic architecture and majestic forest, all of which are exceptionally lovely during the vibrant fall months.
- Patapsco Valley State Park - 8020 Baltimore National Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21043
One of Maryland's favorite destinations for camping, hiking, canoeing and outdoor pursuits of all kinds, Patapsco Valley State Park spans more than 16,000 wild and scenic acres, following a 32-mile stretch of the picturesque Patapsco River. The park is home to a seemingly endless maze of hiking trails, which meander beneath a colorful canopy of mature oak, sycamore, tulip and beech trees. Be sure to pick up a trail map before you start exploring, and check out these Ellicott City homes for sale nearby.
- Loch Raven Reservoir - Phoenix, MD 21131
Lock Raven Reservoir provides Baltimore's drinking water, and for that reason is maintained as one of the cleanest and most pristine lakes in the region. The reservoir is surrounded by parkland, including a wildlife management area and an official Loch Raven Fishing Center, which is the lake's only permitted boat launch site. Just minutes from these Phoenix homes for sale, the lake is best explored by canoe or kayak, which provides a splendid view of the changing colors around the shoreline.
