![[text links listed below]](oanewmenu.gif) | The Maryland Department of Natural Resources' Nature Tourism Program provides exciting recreational opportunities for residents and visitors to Maryland. This program offers youths and adults of all skill levels a chance to experience first-hand Maryland's vast resources while hiking and cycling scenic Western Maryland trails, paddling canoes and kayaks along historic waterways on Maryland's Eastern Shore, or rock climbing in some of the state's most breathtaking public lands. The department offers organized, as well as self-guided outdoor recreation programs at many of our state forests and parks. Designed for individuals, families and friends, Nature Tourism participants learn new outdoor skills or develop old ones while having fun and learning about the state's natural and cultural heritage. Nature Tourism activities are meant to instill a stewardship ethic in everyone. Please respect the natural resources at the facilities you visit and remember they are there for everyone to enjoy. | ![[Outdoor Adventures in Maryland.]](rockclimber.jpg)
