I passed by this trailhead for 15 years not knowing there was much to be seen along the trail. We hiked down along the Thru Trail along the Patapsco River to see the abandoned town of Daniels. We had a great time exploring the abandoned town and hiking along the river on a gorgeous day!
Needs more parking but a great trail
This is the place to start for a great little hike along the Patapsco, and through the destroyed town of Daniels. Parking is free, but very limited.
Have hiked here a few times and it's always enjoyable. Make sure you are wearing good shoes if it's even rainy as you will have to walk through mud and water coming off the hills. The ruins are nice to walk through to learn about the old Mill town that once was.
Was there just yesterday and my dog got to meet horses for the first time. We had not seen them on the trails before, so it was an unexpected surprise.
You can also check out the Daniels area of the park to see more of the town and check out the dam from the opposite side.
