Green Ridge Forest State Park is one of the largest state forests in Maryland, spanning 47,000 acres. The park boasts numerous hiking trails, fishing along the Potomac River, and hunting.
There are 100 primitive campsites throughout the forest, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. To use a campsite, you must register in person at the forest headquarters at 28700 Headquarters Drive NE, Flintstone, MD 21530. The fee to stay is $10 per night, payable only in cash or check.
Cliff Road is a pleasant 1.6-mile trail that offers a steep climb tucked close to a rock face, earning it the name Cliff Road. At the halfway point along the trail, you'll find a well-sized campsite situated next to Sideling Hill Creek. The trail is easy enough for most cars to navigate without any difficulty.
