On my weekend trip to Baltimore, I visited Lake Roland, a scenic lake on the Baltimore City/County Line. Its a quiet, peaceful place within the urban area with a large network of hiking trails. I parked at the parking area near the dam, and took the Pink Trail along the wide part of the lake to the cave, which appears to be an old mine, and then hiked to the end of the trail at the tracks. I crossed the bridge and then took the Red Trail north along the old railroad tracks alongside the lake, to the Yellow Trail and then back along the old tracks trail, then crossing the light rail tracks to the dog area. I then walked alongside the dam and across the bridge, and went back to my car.
