Peaceful place. If you stop by close to sunset you will have a good chance of see multiple dear.
Merkle is beautiful and less crowded than other parks in the Upper Marlboro area. Great for hiking and bird watching. The Sunday drive is excellent as well. It starts at Patuxent River Park.
Well worth the visit!!! Great hiking trails and Lots of wildlife. Very nice visitors center.
Nice trails. Some elevation. Trails well marked. Beautiful visitors center.
This is a great put in. The water is low and flat. The trails are great the driving too is great for running if it's not a Sunday in season.
