MARY’S RIVER STATE PARK 21250 Camp Cosoma Road Callaway, MD 20620 301-872-5688 www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/southern/ stmarysriver.html Situated at the north end of the St. Mary’s River watershed in the center of the county, the park consists of approximately 2,000 acres of land with a 250-acre fishing lake. The relatively flat landscape of St. Mary’s County is not usually thought of as mountain biking terrain; however, the 7.5-mile course encircling the lake at St. Mary’s River State Park is a little known treasure. This course is also available for hiking. Park open daily dawn to dusk Apr.–Oct., and 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Nov.–Mar. 28 ST.
