Spring at Fair Hill

Part of our "Seasons at Fair Hill" series.  Spring at Fair Hill means migrants:  we'll be looking for early warblers, vireos, flycatchers, and sparrows. Of course, the scenery at Fair HIll can't be beat - lush woods, rolling hills, extensive hayfields, crystal clear streams.  Be prepared for a longish hike over trails that are narrow  and may be steep and muddy in places.

Meet at the Covered Bridge Parking Lot at Fair Hill 8:00 a.m. for a ½ day trip. From Rt 273, go north on Rt 316 (Appleton Rd ) for about one mile and then enter Fair Hill at Black Bridge Rd on the left. Follow this gravel road for about 2 miles to the Covered Bridge Parking lot.  Wear good shoes or boots for walking.  May be muddy.

Parking fee or annual State Park Pass required.  Honor System in use; bring small bills to pay fee ( $3 Maryland residents; $4 out-of-state visitors).
