Southern Maryland Trails provides a lovely guidebook that allows both natives and visitors to the area to explore and enjoy southern Maryland's natural and cultural treasures. The guidebook offers you two different themed tours: the "Fossils and Farmscapes Ramble" or the "Barnwood and Beach Glass Loop." Both tours offer the funseeker a wide array of farms; local artists & galleries; restaurants & eateries; and gardens, natural areas and praks with which to visit and enjoy. You can download the guide in PDF from the website or visit one of the many locations where you can pick up a free hardcopy.
The program was developed as a means to assist and promote farmers and related businesses as Southern Maryland diversifies and transitions away from its tobacco-dependent economy. The program is managed by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission and the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland.
