The Fort Frederick State Park Complex consists of Fort Frederick State Park, the Western Maryland Rail Trail, and Woodmont Natural Resources Management Area.
The Western Maryland Rail Trail is a 23.5 mile paved trail, which follows the path of the Western Maryland Railway. The trail is appropriate for walking, hiking, biking, and in-line skating.
Woodmont NRMA began as a hunt club in 1870. During its historic use, Woodmont was home to a very successful wild game restoration program as well as hosting numerous dignitaries and U.S. presidents. Currently, there are 2,000 acres open year-round for public outdoor recreational use.
Fort Frederick was built by the colony of Maryland in 1756 to protect western inhabitants and as a base to attack French strongholds in the Ohio River valley. Interpretive programs are presented on weekends in the spring and fall, and seven days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
A service charge applies to most events. For information about facilities and events call Fort Frederick State Park at 301-842-2155.
