Howard County Bird Club

Avalon/Orange Grove Photographs

Enter from US1 to South Street into the park past the historic Thomas Viaduct. Visit the Baltimore County section:

Visitor’s Center, Lost Lake, site of Bloede Dam (removed in 2018-2019), and the Grist Mill Trail as far as the bridge at Ilchester Road.

But emphasis is on Howard County in the Avalon and Orange Grove Sections along River Road.

At the end of the publicly-accessible road is the Swinging Bridge.

Also visit the Cascade Falls Trail.
