Where to opt outside on the Shore
Enjoying a hike in Talbot County
Sure the weather is getting colder, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still reap the benefits of traversing our local lands, whether it be on a hike, bike, or whatever it is that gets you outside!
We created the following list of trails and open spaces as a handy reminder to get out and take a walk in nature during this holiday season. These places are all located in the Mid and Upper Shore counties where ESLC currently serves.
