I live in ft washington
hiked the Appalachian trail (all MD section), visited Harpers Ferry, and been to Assateague Island.
You are helping us plan our summer staycations. Thanks! Great vid.
Great video, did the Maryland portion of the AT last May and love it. Originally being from SoMd I have been to a couple of the parks there. Now living in Central MD, I absolutely love Cotoctin and Harpers Ferry. Thanks for sharing your list.
Great video thanks so much. I live in Maryland and I have visited several on your list. Thanks to you I have learned about more to explore. God bless!
Almost every Maryland state park is just history.
Jonathan Zylka ya like Civil war
Go visit Swallow Falls State Park. Heaven on Earth !
Solid video but these aren't National Parks, though they are under the National Park system.
Goody two shoes. I bet you were the teacher's favorite. 😎
Right, Maryland has no National Parks.
@@richardea4223 no just a Marylander
Thanks for this video, I'm exited to explore MD
Great ideas in here, thanks!
I'm glad you included Piscataway! It's an awesome place to visit for both history and nature.
Excellent video!
Thank you for sharing your list and tips!
I’ve been to 5 of these plus The Appalachian Trail near VATech where I went to college!!!
Thank you for sharing! Thinking of driving down and doing a road trip through Maryland - will make sure to stop at some of these places!!
Great Falls on the Maryland side. C&O canal. The falls, the trails, Stunning.
Fantastic video, I really enjoyed it. Ft. Washington park is one of my local favorites for exploring and jogging the trails , especially during the sunset hrs.
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks looking for day trips this summer
I’ll promise this summer I’ll visit all this places !! I appreciate the information thanks!!
I love Maryland!!! I can’t wait to visit
Maryland baby!!!
Thanks for information. I have visit Fort Washington National Park several times and I am planning on visiting the other parks also.
High Rock overlook in Ringgold Md is beautiful. They use to hang glide off but haven't done that is years.
Love ur videos bro. ❤️🦀
Thanks!
Been to 7 so far. Thanks for the extra historical information.
Thank you
I’m moving to Maryland and can’t wait to explore.
Come on
Went out to Annapolis rock recently. It was really great. !
Hey, Im in north Georgia. I video parks and places to eat and stuff. I love your content! Im also getting some pointers from you on how to do my videos better!
I have been to all of them ! Appalachian trail is one of my favorite to hike. Hampton Mansion is rich in history. Assateague Island, the beach, wild horses..love, love MD has to offer!
We've been to Assateague, Ft. McHenry, Cotoctin, Harpers Ferry, & The Harriot Tubman. We've also been to Pemberton Park in Wicomico County & Mallard Landing in the Pocomoke River State Park in Worcester Co. Both are amazing places to visit in Maryland as well.
Interesting and nicely done video. Two MD National Parks that were not mentioned but are my favorites are the C&O Canal and Towpath (184 miles long from Georgetown DC to Cumberland MD) and Great Falls National Park. Great Falls is spectacular and has Class V whitewater. The Mather Gorge just below the Falls is also spectacular and a geological phenomenon. The Billy Goat Trail is a favorite and extremely technical and difficult hike/rock scramble along the Potomac just below Great Falls. You actually access Great Falls and the Billy Goat Trail from the C&O Canal Towpath. The Towpath is a great place to ride bicycles.
How did you miss the C&O Canal?
Am surprised you didn't include Great Falls National Park in Potomac...
That's VA
@@rogerarvizu5558 There is half in Potomac, half in VA.
@@rogerarvizu5558 there is the C&O National Park on the Maryland side of Great Falls and the VA side also has a park. The Billy Goat trail runs all along the Maryland side of the park and it is really fun to hike with all the rock scrambles. SO both states have a park there.
Yes, very surprised you didn't include Great Falls on your list. Have you visited that park? C&O National Canal Park? If not you should go and you would definitely revise your top 10 list to include it. That park is amazing with its views of the roaring Potomac!
@@rogerarvizu5558 I'M SO SORRY THAT SOMEHOW YOU GOT PUSHED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL WITHOUT BEING EDUCATED PROPERLY. OR YOU LIVE HERE IN OUR MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION AND APPARENTLY DO NOT KNOW YOUR LOCAL GEOGRAPHY!!! DID YOU NOT TAKE & PASS ANY GEOGRAPHY OR SCIENCE CLASSES??? RIVERS AND STREAMS HAVE TWO SIDES / BANKS / SHORES ETC!!! ONE OF OUR LARGEST LONGEST MAJOR RIVERS IS THE POTOMAC!! BEAUTIFUL TO SEE & WALK / TRAVEL ALONG ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE'S THE REMNANT TOW PATH TO HIKE & BIKE ALONG THE PARALLEL CHESAPEAKE & OHIO CANAL FOR 150 MILES FROM GEORGETOWN / WASHINGTON, D.C WEST UP TO THE MOUNTAINS & CUMBERLAND!!! YOU'LL SEE THE LENGTH OF THE RIVER & CANAL AND THE FIRST TWO STATES IT FORMS THE BORDER BETWEEN MARYLAND & VIRGINIA AND THEN FURTHER ON BETWEEN MD. & WEST VIRGINIA!!
TWO SHORES - TWO COUNTIES - TWO STATES!!!
"GREAT FALLS" STRETCH OF ROCKS & BOULDERS ON THE POTOMAC IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS IN THE EASTERN.U.S.A.!!!! IT SITS ALONG THE DIAGONAL "FALL LINE" NORTH TO SOUTH. IT LIES ALONG THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT'S EAST/NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN COAST DIVIDING GENERALLY FLAT TIDAL COASTAL LANDS FROM THE ROLLING HILLS & BEGINNING MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF THE PIEDMONT LANDSCAPE SANDWICHED BETWEEN ARLINGTON COUNTY IN VIRGINIA AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY.OF MARYLAND!!
JUST NORTHWEST OF GEORGETOWN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIVER WITH IT'S OLD COLONIAL ERA PORT FOR 18th & EARLY 19th CENTURIES SAILING SHIPS.
FORMERLY IN MARYLAND BEFORE THE 1790 CESSIONS OF LAND BY THE TWO STATES TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NEW FIRST PRESIDENT WASHINGTON & FIRST CONGRESS TO LAY OUT A TEN MILES SQUARE FEDERAL DISTRICT TO BE KNOWN AS THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,
SOON FORMING A LAID OUT GRID OF STREETS / AVENUES / SQUARES & PARKS LATER KNOWN AS "WASHINGTON CITY"!! MARYLAND & VIRGINIA ON OPPOSITE NORTH/SOUTH SIDES!!
= D.E.T. / E.T.2

have visited several of these at one time or another when i was younger and dating future husband. he and i loved to hike and go to the parks within driving distance. i loved the assateague island, glen echo, appalachian trail the most but have been to all but number 1 and number 9.
Used to be a lot of horse farms in Piscataway. There was once a very strong racing industry in Maryland.
I live very close to the Catoctin National park, we took our granddaughters there - took them on part of the trail. Very pretty and woodsy. There's also a very cool zoo across the street from the actual entrance to the park, Catoctin which we all enjoyed.
good video
I love the Eastern Shore!
I'm planning to visit them all, now. Regular visitor to Catoctin, Greenbelt, Piscataway, Assateague, Appalachian Trail.
Been to all!
... and Cabin John Park!
If you check out Greenbelt you must go to Lake Artemesia or Buddy Attick Park as well
How about Ft. McHenry?
Really? The inspiration for the "Star Spangled Banner" is too small for you? Wow. I was bred, born and raised in Maryland, sir. I find your comment disturbing.
What about antietam battlefield
i live in the city always been curious what we have i might visit some of these places
Can not take seriously any top ten National Parks in Maryland list that doesn't include the C & O Canal and Fort McHenry.
Make your own video, it's just his favorite ...
Ayy, Frederick country!
Missing big time to go hiking with someone in Maryland,
Sadly, I've only been to 2 of these: Catoctin Mountain and Harpers Ferry. Very nice list!
Go there sometimes.
I’ve been to Harriet Tubman, Ft. Washington, Piscataway, Greenbelt and that’s it. I will be visiting other parks in Maryland. Are there any in St Charles County MD?
Bro you missed Swallow Falls State Park. It has a bunch of waterfalls including Maryland's tallest waterfall! It's all the way out west. There's beautiful views on the way there.
I’v in Harper Ferry
Piscataway National Park 🏞 I heard that Indians used to live there. Also I saw a slavery house on to on a hill. Chef turkey was the name of an Indian who I heard died I can’t remember how but he lived from 1895 to 1978. Also I saw a teepee ⛺️. Glad they left that there for everyone can see it
You never mention Garrett County!
Garrett County has a state park, but I don't think any National parks.
Catoctin is has nice fishing but I like Mallows bay too but I think that's just a state park
1. Harriet Tubman
2. Catoctin mountain
3. Asseteaque island
4. Fort Washington park
5. Glen echo national park
6. Greenbelt national park
7. Piscataway park
8. Harpers ferry national park
9. Hampton house
10. Appalachian trail
St. Mary’s county is dope. If you’re going for nature and fishing (or ghosts) go to point lookout.
Can I use my national parks pass to get in?
What about Great Falls?
... how long can you camp, and can you fish
I live in greenbelt
No Antietam or C&O Canal or Fort McHenry?
While in living in Pasadena, Maryland, we would often visit Fort Smallwood Park
www.aacounty.org/departments/recreation-parks/parks/fort-smallwood/index.html
What them horses eat?
What it’s like to live in Western Maryland...the rest of the state forgets you exist.
That’s why It’s not that bad to live here. Lol
Catokin, are u kidding me. Ca-Toc-Tin.
Omg what about
Swallow falls the
Biggest falls in Maryland
CHECK THIS OUT!!! I ALWAYS ENJOYED MY SEVERAL TRIPS TO SWALLOW FALLS OVER THE DECADES ESPECIALLY WHEN I ATTENDED NEARBY FROSTBURG STATE COLLEGE, WEST OF CUMBERLAND. I VISITED NUMEROUS PLACES / SCENIC & HISTORIC SITES & SIGHTS IN WESTERN MARYLAND IN THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS CHAIN ALONG INLAND EAST COAST OF OUR U.S.A. WITH ADJACENT SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA & VIRGINIA - WEST VIRGINIA - WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
WE HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL SITES HERE IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES ALTHOUGH NOT AS MANY PRESERVED / RESERVED FEDERAL LANDS FOR NATIONAL PARKS / FORESTS / MONUMENTS & SHRINES AS THOSE MORE NUMEROUS FEDERAL LANDS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI!! THE EAST WAS MORE THICKLY SETTLED BY THE TIME FIRST NATIONAL PARKS BEGAN BEING RESERVED & DESIGNATED IN LATE 19th CENTURY. BUT MANY SITES GOT RESERVED AS SMALLER STATE PARKS OR FOREST RESERVES (SUCH AS ADIRONDACKS MOUNTAINS IN UPPER NEW YORK STATE / NORTHEAST AS A NEW YORK STATE PARK.
THAT'S WHY UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NOT A HUGE NATIONAL PARK SURROUNDING NIAGARA FALLS, OR IN THEK APPALACHIANS OR ALONG EAST / NORTH ATLANTIC COAST RESTRICTING CREEPING DEVELOPMENT RIGHT ON THE SAND DUNES TOO CLOSE TO THE WATERS!!= D.E.T. / E.T.2. -

I wasn’t aware Maryland had national parks.
salisburyyy lol
You should add top 10 state parks, top ten museums, top ten lighthouses.......top 10 places to eat crabs.
All good ideas, I plan on doing more. The next script I have typed up is "top 10 celebrities from Maryland" Love the idea of lighthouses. Do you think there are 10 in Maryland?
@@MalcolmLawsonREALTOR There are more than 10, but most are not open to the public and remote. Solomons, Saint Michaels, Piney Point, and 1 in Baltimore are then only ones I have entered.
only pcaotpast the mountains the ones that i went to with jade
The Salisbury zoo does not have giraffes! I worked there I should know
So weird I been to all these places I camp in tburmont.
Did you know a long time ago tornado’s use to happen 4 times in a year that’s what the weather news told me.
Left out Antietam National Battlefield.
Assateague should be # 1
Really good information, thank you. However, seems you are mixing ‘Parks’ with ‘National Parks’, just because they are managed by ‘National Park Services’. Just FYI, seems Maryland does not have a National Park.
Assateague!
Ft McHenry? Appalachian trail isn't a park. C and O Canal, largest in MD. Includes Great Falls.
I liked most of this, but certainly Greenbelt should be replaced with Ft. McHenry; Greenbelt is nothing compared to the place where our National Anthem was written... and there's plenty of cool museums in Baltimore just around the corner from it.
The kitty Knight house held slaves during the war of 1812
So the Underground Railroad wasn't an Underground Railroad??
It was a route for slaves to escape to the north I believe, and a network of people who would shelter them.
There are no National Parks in Maryland. The closest National Park to Maryland is Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
This doesn't make sense. CA has the most National Parks and they have 9. Maryland has 18? I am confused.
101 the comment on here YES 😁🥴😡🔥
You had to go PC
Wrong, Fort Washington was built as a string of forts during the post Revolutionary War and War of 1812 periods, and not the Civil War period. 😎
It's absolutely criminal to not include Patapsco State Park... like, that's in the heart of Maryland!! Especially since a lot of the parks that you mentioned, which seem interesting for sure, are around D.C., which as a true Marylander, I can emphatically state is NOT a part of Maryland. YourMarylandRealEstateAgent.com smdh..
Thanks, Christian, but this video includes only "National" Parks. Not state DNR-managed parks.
Very poorly done research, sir, Fort Washington wasn't built during the Civil War time frame, but in 1809, and was most active during the war of 1812. The reenactment you are talking about and even showing a picture is from the war of 1812, not the Civil War. Pay more attention next time you go there, sir.
Literally none of these are national parks, come on man.
Harper's Ferry is in Virginia and West Virginia, not Maryland. Man, do your research next time. You maybe good at selling houses, but blew this one.😎
