Annapolis Rock Vista
Scenic spot
👍👍 Great Hiking experience for beginners, even pets are allowed. Scenic beauty from the top of Annapolis rock is breathtaking, its a part of Appalachian trail too. Probably will take around 2 hr to go the top which is a 800-1000 feet elevation gain from the parking. Always remains crowded in the rock b...

High Rock
Scenic spot
👍 Great overlook. The graffiti ruins this place. There are profanities spray painted everywhere. Not only is the graffiti ugly, but makes the rocks more slick and the area more dangerous to walk around. If it's so great why isn't it all over your vehicle or home?!? Mother nature will always be the bet...

Weverton Cliffs
Scenic spot
👍👍 The Weverton Cliffs trail is well-known and is a part of the Appalachian mountain trail. There is a parking lot that can accommodate up to 30 cars, but visitors can also find street parking on the other side of the bridge. The hike is rated as moderate, and for slow hikers, it may take up to two ho...

Hawk Rock Overlook image

Hawk Rock Overlook
Hiking area
👍👍 Nice hike with great views. It's definitely a steep hike so not super easy if you're not in shape. There's a decent amount of parking in the parking area and the lot is easy to get to using google maps. There's also a sign off the rd. that says hawk rock with an arrow which helped verify we were goi...

👍👍 Just a wonderful peaceful place to walk to and not a hard walk at all. Very easy to access even for those who are handicapped. The views are amazing! Totally worth taking a trip. This faces the west so evening sunsets are the best!

White Cliffs of Conoy
Hiking area
👍👍 Scenic, beautiful, and worth the trek. Like others noted, Google Maps tries to take you in via Scuba Drive, which is a private, blocked road. The owners put up a sign noting to go to Koser Park, in Bainbridge... the path entrance that I used. The cliffs are accessible as part of the Northwest Lancas...

👍👍 Amazing view! Limited parking on side of the road for both the overlook and the restaurant. This view allows you to view 3 states (Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia) as well as two rivers. If you are in the area you must stop by and take in this view as much as you can!!!

Mapleton Overlook
Scenic spot
👍👍 Amazing views of the town and trains going by. The hike up is definitely difficult and not for the faint of heart. There's way more than 1000 steps to get there. (Lol). The sign for the overlook shows that you're at "Ledge Quarry"... Google has/had the overlook listed down the trail further but we d...

👍👍 Went for a hike and absolutely LOVED it. Will be back again. It was a great way to spend the day and enjoy nature. Didn't run into anyone else until I was back at my car. But I was also hiking in Feb. Probably busier in the warmer months.
