Seneca Creek State Park

Lovely well maintained park. Always had a great calming time here!

Seneca Creek State Park is a picturesque natural setting known for its serene landscapes and is famous as one of the filming locations for The Blair Witch Project. With its lush forests, a tranquil lake, and well-maintained trails, it's a wonderful destination for hiking, picnicking, and wildlife enthusiasts.

The park is absolutely beautiful and well taken care of. We rented the BlueJay pavilion for a family reunion, and it was more than enough space for us all. Bugs were not biting. I enjoyed myself this reunion, and the nice... outdoor venue was a big part of that good feeling.

Great park with easy and moderate difficulty level trails, a boating center and seasonal fun activities.

This place is beautiful anytime of the year. Please visit. During the summer do paddle boarding. Don't forget no one said you can't fall off the board as many times as you want 😉

A well maintained state park. Alongside the Potomac River in southern Maryland, has a very convenient boat ramp as well as very generous accommodations for parking vehicles with boat trailers. A small general store is available for those supplies that tend to be forgotten. For being a small store, it is incredibly well stocked for supplies needed for fishing (fresh bait), picnics (paper plates, forks, and so on) as well as breakfast to go!
As for some casual fishing, there is space along the pier just for fishing. So you don’t have to have a boat to fish. Just remember, you might have that fishing license handy if you're required to have one, right!
Restrooms are of course available. And they are clean. There are trails to walk on,. The only wish I had was it would have been great if there had been horses for riding. But otherwise, a really nice park to take the family to. Or even to take yourself to walk around, relax, and smell the roses(figuratively) 😉

Beautiful park, you'd barely notice while you're here that the busyness of 270 and Gaithersburg is right down the road.

Nice boat launch for paddleboarding, big lake to paddle around. Lots of trails, open areas, benches for picturesque views, playgrounds, restrooms, many picnic tables throughout with grills.

Just remember to pick up and take your trash with you - there are not many (if at all) trashcans around.

We love to spend a day here!

Very beautiful state park with plenty of places to sit and have your own picnic or bbq. There aee many trails and places to walk around. If you cime early enough, you will be able to join the water activities. Even if you don't, there are plenty of wildlife tp explore from owls, turtles, fish, birds, ect.

Great park, easy hikes, picnic area, playground.

Large park, with trails along the water, many benches and picnic spots. Closes 7:15 at night, so don't get locked out. Rangers drive around the park and notify everyone before closing time. Kids will enjoy large and creative playground. It is made of used tires, some if which are huge and lots of fun for kids of all ages. There is a volleyball court, just bring your ball. As you roam around, you will stumble upon some interesting sites and objects, like agricultural art pieces. It is quiet and serene in the evening, great place for a relaxing walk.

10/19/2022. Took ginger for a beautiful fall hiking, the lake shore trail. Easy and mostly flat. Usually 1-1.5 h. Plenty of parking spaces at the trail head. We had great fun.

Beautiful park with a trail around the lake that could take up to 3hours.

Winter lights are well worth the cover. 3.5 miles, 45 mins of cool drive thru winter lights for $15? Deal. However, there were too many commercials on the recommended holiday radio station; Spotify was needed.

I love this park and frequently visit it. The photos that are attached to this review are from December 30, 2022.

Winter light festival is so amazing! We had such a great time there. We paid $25 and had a tour for about half an hour while driving around the lake. You must see the amusing and nice lighting designs …

Our visits in summer was wonderful. Nice place to make memories especially in spring and summer.

Absolutely stunning beautiful state park. It’s free during the peak season (winter), but I wouldn’t mind paying few bucks to come to this beautiful park. Kids love the trails and the lake is so welcoming and relaxing. Great outdoor place for families and it’s almost never too crowded!

Beautiful low humidity day. I walked the Lakeshore trail spending a couple of hours leisurely seeing the wildlife and sights. The trails are well marked and clear. Saw several hikers and fishermen and families in boats on the lake. Fun experience.

Great experience for hiking and enjoy of nature.

Fantastic State Park. Trail around the lake is a little under 4 miles, a bit of up and down but nothing too crazy. Beautiful views along the way, and very peaceful.

There was a bit of trail traffic on a Saturday afternoon, but also plenty of time where we were on our own and it was totally peaceful.

Day passes are $3/person for MD residents.

Loved this park. Wish I had brought lunch and more water so i could stay longer. I hope to come back on a day it is less hot.

Clearly a beloved park as literally every pavillion had a party happening and so.e of the picnic tables did as well.

They rent canoes for a decent price so i may come back to try them in the fall.
