Palmer State Park, Harford County
Under an unbroken canopy of second-growth and riparian forests, two miles of scenic Deer Creek runs through the 555-acre Palmer State Park. Historic sites can be found along the creek banks and native flora and fauna thrive in the forested habitat. Though the park is less than 20 minutes from the town of Bel Air, nature enthusiasts and historians alike will appreciate the recreational opportunities at Palmer State Park. Palmer State Park is a “trash-free” park and there are no dumpsters available. Please plan to take all of your trash (including pet waste bags) home with you when you leave.
