There are plenty of benches and shaded areas so you don't cook in the sun. Take a peek at the huge gaggle of friendly ducks who don't run away when you approach. Don't feed the ducks; there's a fine for doing so. Parking is free along the road on West 2nd St. Recommended--the usuals frequent the park: moms with strollers, pet owners, and even fishermen.

I fished here 2 days ago for the first time ever, and I waited several hours before the catfish became active and started biting. Then I caught 5-6 nice sized fish ! The advantage of fishing here is you know there are fish present. You just have to wait for them to start biting !

I know it will be amazing.

Gambrill State Park is one of many state parks just outside of Frederick, Maryland. Within the park…read moreare a few parking lots. If the first one is full, they will mark it and direct you to the parking spots near the campsites. The park itself has a number of well-marked trails with varying lengths. The black trail was great for our family and our toddler walked most of the way. It also leads to a few overlooks looking out into the Maryland countryside. Parking does cost, but it's on an honor system and cheap. $3 for Maryland residents and $5 for non-Maryland residents.

This is a nice park that I enjoy going for walks at, and one lap casually walking on the main track…read moreusually takes me about 10 minutes to go all the way around. In the center of the park is a decent sized fishing pond where I have caught many bluegills, although the sign says it is stocked with trout (so you may catch some here and there). There is also a decent sized playground for kids, a public swimming pool (which you can check times and cost online), and I believe some type of paddle boats (you may have to check the hours and such for that) which is the only watercraft allowed on the pond. They appear to cut the grass on Fridays (so allergy sufferers beware). They have plenty of covered picnic areas, trash cans, and bathrooms.. although I don't believe I have seen any doggy stations (I saw one lady the other day who didn't bother to pick up her dogs poop, yuck). They are open from 8am til Dusk.

This is a beautiful regional park close to Frederick…read more It has a walking trail that goes over a marsh type area and a stream. There are plenty of plaques along the way that offer bits of history. There are bluebirds flying around and it is nice that they have provided some protected land for them. There is a playground, baseball fields, and plenty of shelters with barbecues. There is a nicely designed bathroom area (plumbed). Towards the back of the park, there is a historic home under renovation and there is an equestrian (horseback riding) trail. There is something for everyone here and it is often not overly busy! It is also nicely kept. If you are going back on 15 towards Frederick, be careful as there is no merge area and it can be dangerous.

There are two trailheads; this address is for one of them, located in the wood line of a nearby school. Park in their back parking lot. Ignore your GPS; it had fits trying to point me to the right place. The trail is just that; a somewhat circular gravel walking path thru the woods, with Civil War information plaques explaining key points of the battle every so often. Nothing fancy by any means. This place has no bathrooms and is very secluded. If you're adverse to walking thru the woods alone, you might not be comfortable here. http://www.civilwar.org/battlefields/thirdwinchester/maps/cwpt-third-winchester.html

My wife had been trying to arrange a fly fishing trip for us over the last month or so; she…read moresearched high and low and finally settled on Shenandoah Valley Fly Fishing. I say settled, but that definitely isn't the case with this local fly fishing operation. Galen, the owner/operator was extremely nice to work with and rearranged his schedule several times to accommodate for poor weather/fishing conditions to ensure we had a great time learning how to fly fish. Once we met him near the river, we learned how to cast a fly rod on dry land. He has a lot of patience and was very supportive, even when we were doing poorly. After an hour of practice we hit the water on his white water rafting rig. We stopped at several places along the river to fish, and he would critique and provide tips along the way so that we caught as many fish as possible. While on the river he provided all of the fly fishing gear, beverages and even catered to our dietary needs. We will definitely be back to fish with Shenandoah Valley Fly Fishing in the near future - it was a low stress and high excitement experience for us. If you are ever looking for lessons or a guided tour, I would use Galen over any of his competitors. If you choose to go with Shenandoah Valley Fly Fishing, make sure you mention that one movie that takes place in Montana that has a lot of fly fishing in it, I think it's called "A River Runs Through It", or something like that. Galen looks a lot like Brad Pitt, if that helps. Great job, Galen, you have made customers for life!

He took some extra time to give us casting tips before we started our trip (my brother was new to fly fishing), and was an excellent instructor throughout the day. Our trip was such a success!
