Lake Roland

Overlooking the scenic Lake Roland is 500 acres of park, two historic sites and a rare environmentally-sensitive ecosystem home to many endangered species of flora and fauna.  Hiking trails fan out from the nature center, picnic pavilions, playground and Paw Point Dog Park. The nature center offers year-round education programming and special events. The park is also home to the Baltimore County COVID-19 Memorial Public Art Project, a place for remembrance and reconciliation.
