About This Space

This site is interesting in that it is still in the process of being fully handed over to NeighborSpace by Baltimore County. The property was once home to a grist mill and hand-built dam, the latter of which completely collapsed days before NeighborSpace was to take proper ownership. The county is still figuring out how to deal with the situation before it is fully NeighborSpace's property, but for the time being, NeighborSpace completes yearly photo monitoring.

  • Stream valley conservation area. Located in District 1, this 11.0-acre natural area provides valuable green space for the community.
  • Quiet and secluded forest with trails.
  • Main path is blocked by fallen dam; mud path takes you around the obstruction.
  • Limited Street Parking
  • No Bathrooms
Accessibility warning: Part asphalt, part mud trail.
