Liberty Reservoir - #Baltimore #Maryland #biking #carfree

Here are some photos of Liberty Reservoir from the Liberty Road bridge. Woods, lake, river are all to be found here. There are some hills, and some would likely consider the bicycling to be a little advanced, so use care.

Use to Metro rail or 40 Quickbus to get you closer and maximize your time. There's a boat ramp and fishing, etc. It would be no surprise to find someone to rent you a boat. Swimming in season is sometimes found in the river areas to the south, although it is reportedly prohibited in the reservoir.

If you are looking for a little freedom outside the city, this is a great candidate. The west side of the lake is Carroll County, with Howard county in the Patapsco river valley to the south. Eldersberg has many amenities, and for the ambitious, you are almost half way to Frederick. I'm thinking of planning a trip from here to the Potomac river and its famous bike trail. ;-)
