Proximity to Maryland's Great Outdoors

When you need a break from work, campus, and city life, Baltimore is close to a variety of outdoor activities and beautiful scenery.

Get your green quotient in just a 20-minute drive from the college—play, hike, bike, camp, or go horseback riding in the green valleys and rolling hills that surround the city. Mountains and winter sports are a little further west— about three hours.

Baltimore is a Port City

A seven-mile paved waterfront promenade lets you walk around and enjoy the Inner Harbor from all sides. If you love sailing, rowing, or other water sports, you can do so in the Inner Harbor or you can travel just an hour to the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. Another couple of hours will take you to the gorgeous white sand beaches on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
