Looking to go for a hike in the woods? This is the place. Go to the Nature Center first & pick up a trail map. Lots of trails of varying lengths. One takes you past the old ski hill at Oregon Ridge. Beautiful place to hike, 5 minutes from the Hunt Valley Towne Center. And theyve added lots of picnic tables making it a great getaway at lunchtime.

Beautiful park with great trails and scenic views. Only had time for the overlook trail which is the shortest but still provides great views and can be done by beginners although it is quite steep. If you have the time and energy definitely continue on to other trails (youll see a map at the top of Overlook trail) lf you do continue onward you will come across a lake which I imagine would be quite worth the effort. Definitely recommend this place a visit!

Took the family for a quick hike and to see the nature center. The kids (2 and 4) had a blast running around and looking at all the cool stuff in the nature center. Everyone was doing a good job with the social distancing too. And, we saw this guy hanging out in the frog pen...

Nice park with trails and kids playing area but I want to warn first timers taking the trail. The trails are not properly marked, like what trails, distance. There is no proper map and there is always a sense that you are lost. The only things marked are trees with red and white markings. Very nice trails but it could have been so much better with proper trail markings and maps. Even online park information doesnt provide much information about the different trails, distance and difficulty (easy, moderate). Amazing potential but needs few vital informations for visitors.

Beautiful clean park with a bunch of trails. They are very long and can take a very long time depending on your skill level. I love how varied the terrain is and the little lake at the opposite end of the park is beautiful. It’s one of my favs on my rotation.

Amazing trails and fun activities for kids. We love the Story Trail!

Lovely autumn colors awesome walk great trails

My family enjoys hiking, and Oregon Ridge has good trails. A playground for young children is near the main lodge. They provide fun for the whole family.

Not crowded, good terrain for exercise, scenic and peaceful. Photo is at the bottom of the trail, so uphill coming back to car.

Great hike. Very cool historical area with very unique tree art. I would recommend this park to anyone who likes the outdoors. The yellow trail have some inclines but over all hiking is moderate.

Well maintained, beautiful lake and facility provides nice history.

This place has pleasant environment and beautiful trails. I love yellow trail because It has scenic water streams and moderate hiking level.

I love this park it’s very breathtaking .i’m glad one of my friends mention this park . I went to this park it’s like a nice day trip to go to and your like away from it all . I can’t wait to go back again .

I got about 5 miles of hiking up, down, in and around gorgeous trees, streams, and a small pretty lake. Two of the stream crossings required creative hopscotching that might be too much for the very young or old to make without falling in (though the water wasn’t dangerously deep.) Trails could be marked better.

Lots of great trails and fantastic programs for kids. My kid loves to visit the poultry and explore the Deep deep DEEP dark woods.

This place is a hidden gem. It has a play area right by the pool (oregon pool) and a small trail for hiking. Weekdays are the best to visit this park considering the current covid situation. We barely see anyone during the weekday evenings.

Went to early voting Got there early about 645 A lot of people were already there but when the doors opened at 7 They moved the line very quickly Snd we had nice people in line to talk to

Typically, we have nothing but good things to say about Oregon Ridge Park, but this review is more of a warning than a review of the park and facilities. We had made a reservation for a family gathering to take place in August. 2 Days after making the reservation, the consensus of the family was to postpone the gathering following Gov Hogans speech about the increase in covid cases due to family gatherings. Oregon Ridge reimbursed the deposit but held $100. I understand there is company policy to follow, but due to circumstances out of our control, we would have thought in good faith they would have reimbursed the full deposit amount as we were just under the required 30 day cancellation time frame. Please be very cautious about making reservations at the park unless your 100% sure you will follow through!

For a county park it is outstanding. There is a wonderful nature center, lots of well maintained trails on one side of the park and pavilions and a theater on the other.

Just great to be outdoors during the 2020 pandemic. The Painted Forest on the Red Trail was spectacular!

This is such a beautiful and well maintained hiking area! And the nature center is a great place for young children to interact and learn about nature and wildlife.

For loved hiking varieties of trails:long ,short with overlooks and points of nutura ,crossing runs and pools,uphill and downhill in Eastern forest .Also for lived outside picnik a lot of tables and please for grilling.

Cute little park in MD. We loved picking and eating the raspberries.

Become one with Nature, take in the sights and sounds. A beautiful hike on a beautiful day.

This is an awesome place to get outside for a while and enjoy nature. There are multiple trails to try out, none of which are very long so you could try them all in a few hours. They have an awesome, and free, nature center that is full of exhibits and animals to check out! They also have a playground, covered pavilion and plenty of free parking. Definitely check this park out if you are looking for some fresh air on a nice day.

Open during pandemic, as of early July anyway. Lots of trails. Easy to get a little lost, in a good way. Some open fields, some steep hills, some weird water features. Dont trust the trail markings or the posted maps! Use your phone. Thank me later.

Great programs for all ages. Took our son for the story time hosted by Baltimore County Public Library. A great mix of stories, songs and we even went on a hike through the trails. My son and I both loved it and will be back!

Great park with ex exellent trails and wildlife.

Excellent walk. (In 97F ???) Well marked trails.I saw woodpeckers and mushrooms and ...I will make every effort to visit again.

Went to vote long line but moved fast 40mins top

This is a nice park for anyone interested in a decent hike. Easy/intermediate trails with nice views of the lake and surrounding forests. Some of the maps can seem a bit faded, and the red trail looks a bit orange. Also, some of the blazes on the orange trail are also yellow. Overall, very nice; well be back again!

Absolutely love this hidden. Jewel! You get to soak up nature and sun while getting to elevations as high as 700ft along with a PHENOMENAL caloric burn

I love Oregon Ridge. Loads of great trails. A variety of critters that are with the nature center. Symphony does summer shows. Community dinner theater. Wonderful respite from the city.

Really clean place and naturally OMG NICE

Very nice place for family hiking, picnic, and BBQ...

Its Oregon Ridge, everyone already knows this place is cool. Watch out for tiger mosquitos.

A few good hiking trails and some other nice things to look at by the nature center.

The little ones had a great time and staff were very friendly.

Beautiful park. Trails are awesome with beautiful views. Great way to spend the day here!

Beautiful park but busy and parking was scarce.

Its always a pleasant place to enjoy nature.

A lovely location to hike through, especially whilst the pandemic is occuring as you can easily distance on nearly all the paths and routes.

The playground has a lot of space and equipment for many kids to enjoy. There are several picnic tables and beches located in the playground area - you can eat and play. My kids always love going to this playground. There is usually plenty of other kids of various ages to play with. The families there always seem friendly. There is a ton of parking spots and restrooms to use also. And, if you feel like a hike, there are several trail options as well. It is pet friendly, so dont forget to bring the pup with you!

Love the place. Nice picnic area.

This is a wonderful park for families. There is an excellent nature center with all types of critters to view.. There is also a sweet little natural playground a few steps away from the nature center, perfect for early elementary age and younger. We spent a few hours here and played in the Creek. We didnt even make it to the trails yet!

Trails are clearly marked, and its an absolutely gorgeous area!

Clean, nice family picnic area, quaint lake area, decent amount of parking, convenient grille restaurant within 3 minute walk of parking area

Nice hiking trail. Make sure to wear some good shoes because it does get muddy.

My favorite local park. Little bit of history, lots of nature, and lots of trails to hike.Edit: I dont want to elaborate so that I dont out myself too much, but I had a negative experience with the staff here. They were abrasive, thick-skulled, and spoke with an unnecessary I know what I have attitude despite me being a lifelong nature lover and fully understanding human ecological impact. There are better parks where the staff are open to natural studies, so my yearly donations will go elsewhere.

Very nice kids play area!!

Fun park that holds many events. They got turtles in the lake and in the nature center. The trails are also fun, bring a map though.

I went here 7 yrs ago it was the most peaceful place Ive been to in Maryland..

Whats not to love. Even without their programming you cannot beat the views and serenity of the paths

Very nice place to take a hike and have a picnic.

Great spot for kids, cool wildlife and local plant exhibits

Divinely beautiful today

Great trails, a wonderful break from the city

Highly recommend. Peaceful and quiet. Well marked trail system, a main building with exhibits and bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Very beautiful!!

Love this place to hike with my aussie..abit busy on sundays in summer go early to avoid.

Lovely place to eat breakfast right next to the water

Oregon Ridge Park is amazing! Love running all the trails and hills with my dogs. Looking forward to making more memories in a beautiful place!

Excellent walking trails, fun events for the whole family, and excellent, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Their summer programs offer hands on learning for kids with a wife variety of interests. The events range from simple activities like cane fishing to large festivals like the Honey Festival complete with vendors, demonstrations and games. A truly lovely park to spend time at.

Nice hiking trail! Pretty area. Forest of Hope is really awesome!

A good bit of trails, pet friendly too. No bikes are aloud on the trails.

Beautiful place with alot of events for the family .

This is such a beautiful place to come just to walk around. I had some photos taken while I was there. My kids enjoyed coming here also, they love exploring (theyre a bit older) & this place is perfect for doing that.

Great trail and fun playgrounds for kids!

Fun spot for a little hike with young kids, a little nature center- kids love watching the snakes and turtles

Plenty of hills to take advantage of rare snow days. Great fun sledding with the kids.

Good park but no trash cans anywhere! There are some dumpsters way off in the distance but very inconvenient. They need to add trash cans asap!

Close..ample trails for beginners and those wanting a more vigorous hike with the Ivy Hill 4.5 mile loop. Trails are well maintained,Dog friendly

Well maintained. Great place for kids. They have a good play area for young kids and infants. The trails are good for a brief walk. Got a lake and picnic place for parties.

Went for early voting, clean, friendly, and dont care who you vote for, get out and vote!

I went with my friend and our 8,6,4 yet old kids. We had a blast in the 4 mile hike and water rocks along with the park.

We have an amazing time going to the campfire talk about mothman. its a great place to connect with nature and go to the specialized events. It was a marshmallow roasting followed by a scary hike and the staff that ran it did a great job.

Excellent county park. Great nature center. Come out for some events! And the trails! And the educational grounds!

Great fun for the whole family. Various trails for all skill levels and the nature center was super fun!

Great hikes for all skill levels

The nature center is spectacular. Its free and highly educational. You learn all about history, geology, wildlife, and geography here. Theres also a great exhibit of local reptiles and amphibians

Amazing oasis for kids and adults!

I went for their annual pancake breakfast fundraiser which was nicely done. I promised myself that I will return and check out the park itself during the spring or summer.

Awesome trails. Beautiful place to walk the pups!

Clean trails and nicely marked. We had a great Saturday morning hike. Plenty of parking when we arrived at 9:00, but we noticed when we were leaving that parking looked pretty full. We didnt get a chance to explore the whole park, just some trails, but we will be back for sure.

Animals an trails keep u entertained

This was where my granddaughter had her first birthday party. Of course, I loved it there!

It was a wonderful place, I had a great time

What a beautiful place!

Excellent place for exercise, hiking, walking pets, and just enjoying nature.

Love it here. Very peaceful. The staff is always very engaging.

Everything closed, but met friends in the shade for a picnic.

Its one of our local family favorites!

Very well marked hiking trails, color-coded. Well-used and well-maintained.

Nice paths trough the woods along the stream!

Fabulous experience! There is so much to see, we cant wait to come back! We attended the maple syrup presentation and then went outside to,personally watch see the trees and taste fresh sap, syrup, and crushed maple candy. Very knowledgeable guides. Nice and clean bathrooms. Family friendly. Inexpensive.

Tons of great spots to picnic

We arrived and set up our area just in time, 5;30 PM, for the down pour of rain that did not end until well after 7:10 PM. My wife and I took refuge in an unused Porta Potty but not until we were totally drenched. We stayed to meet our friends, eat food, reset up our area with chairs, listen to the great music, and watched the Really Nice sky display fireworks event. By the time we get to our car, we were 2/3s dry for the drive home.Well be there next year!!!!

This is a wonderful place to visit especially with small children. The playground was well kept and large. The slides are a little unusual and ho hum really, but they do have swings. Its nice that the playground is large enough for smaller kids to run around on without running into an obstacle that is too advanced, i.e. a swing bridge or something.They have a variety of slides, swings, monkey bars (off to the side), and plenty of ladders/climbing apparatus. They also have a smaller playground off to the side making it appropriate for all ages.

Beautiful! Very quiet. Very peaceful.

I took my daughter to learn how maple syrup is made, and we both learned a lot.

What a great park! Lots of space to roam around. Well kept trails, everyone does their part to keep trash picked up. A great place for your dog to walk too! Just keep them on a leash though.
