We spent maybe an hour with the birds - a bald eagle, a family of screech owls, a barred owl, a couple of huge, sleepy barn owls - before walking down to the lake trail. It is sad to see these beautiful creatures caged, but they are alive, well cared for, and interested in human interaction. (I didn't know they hissed either!) The aviary is a small, clean, airy facility where the Maryland DNR houses and displays birds of prey who are healthy but cannot be released into the wild, such as our vulure, who had only one wing. The first sight we encountered was a large black vulture eying us from her perch, and her neighbor, a great horned owl, who announced his mistrust of us by hissing loudly. Scrutinizing the map, I noticed a tiny black box just down the way called 'the aviary.' We drove about a quarter mile down the road, turned right at the small sign, and parked in the lot. What a great decision! We stopped at the RGSP Lodge to pick up a free trail map and decided to hike the nearly five mile loop trail that borders the lake. We decided to spend part of the day hiking the trails at Rocky Gap State Park before heading for DC. Recently my hsuband and I stopped overnight in the Cumberland, Maryland area on our way to Washington, D.C. i also have pictures of all the trash, if i can upload them. well go to new germany state park instead. never happened before, but we wont be going back.

my kids all got really sick 3 days after swimming there.

apparantly these people are living at the campground area and its being over run. this hasnt been an issue ever, until last year and this year. im sure the park rangers do their best at keeping up with it, but they shouldnt have to in the first place if ppl were just respectful and not lazy. which wouldnt even beĪn issue, except it gets littered with trash, filth, etc. which does diminish the 'family type feeling.' But because it is being trashed by ppl coming from mexico. (kids are 10,7,7) but it has gone down hill. and we took our kids there every summer for the last 10 years.
