StopMaryland
Cunningham Falls State Park
Maryland
The largest cascading waterfall in Maryland (78 ft) sits at the heart of Catoctin Mountain Park, right off MD-77. The William Houck Area trailhead puts riders minutes from the falls with a paved lot, picnic facilities, and a lake good for a quick dip. The park straddles the same mountain corridor that shelters Camp David, and the approach on MD-77 from Thurmont is one of the best stretches of twisties in central Maryland.
StopMaryland
Harris Crab House
Maryland
A waterfront crab house at Kent Narrows on the Eastern Shore, just minutes off US-50/301 after crossing the Bay Bridge. Open daily 11 am–8:30 pm, it serves steamed Chesapeake blue crabs by the dozen, cream of crab soup, and crab cakes directly overlooking the narrows. The large parking lot handles bikes easily, and it's a natural anchor for any Eastern Shore day loop.
StopMaryland
High Rock Overlook
Maryland
A drive-to-the-top viewpoint on South Mountain at roughly 1,824 ft elevation, where the Appalachian Trail crosses a graffiti-covered rock ledge with a 180-degree panorama stretching north into Pennsylvania. The road off MD-491/Pen Mar High Rock Road takes riders right to the parking lot — no hiking required. It doubles as a hang-glider launch site. Free, open year-round, and notorious for its technicolor spray-paint rock canvas.
