Loch Raven Reservoir
The Loch Raven Reservoir was created to provide potable water for Baltimore City and Baltimore County – owned by the city and residing in the county. It spans from Towson, MD to Phoenix, MD. It makes for a beautiful backdrop. You can even see the Towson skyline from the reservoir.
The reservoir boasts a large body of water with biking and hiking trails snaking through the woods. You’ll see mountain bikers on the trails. Not a fan of trail riding? Hit the pavement on Saturday and Sunday between 9 AM – 5 PM. Loch Raven Drive between Morgan Mill and Providence roads are closed to through traffic so walkers, runners and bikers can take to the road without traffic.
Avid fishers can be found fishing around the reservoir, the fishing center as well as off the Dulaney Valley Road Bridge. Make sure you get a fishing license before you cast your reel. If you don’t have a fishing license and just want to enjoy the water, rent a kayak or rowboat and explore the reservoir by water. Get in some skeet shooting at the skeet shooting range.
More of a history buff? Take a drive along Loch Raven Drive to see the dam and read the informational plaques about the history of Loch Raven Reservoir. Did you know they submerged the town of Warren to increase the depth of the reservoir?
