Forest Map
Recreation – Trails
More than 55,000 acres of rugged terrain challenges hikers, hunters, anglers and mountain bike riders alike on Savage River State Forest. There are trails for snowmobiling, ORV trail riding and even cross-country skiing. Some of the trails are multiple use trails depending on the season. Each season brings the forest to life with delightful sounds and colors, like bright while trillium on a sunny slope and the sounds of migrating warblers taking a brief rest. Hikers are asked to protect the forest’s natural and historic resources by following the Leave No Trace ethics. Hikers should plan their trip, travel and camp on durable surfaces, dispose of waste properly, leave what you find, respect wildlife and be considerate of other visitors. All of Maryland’s State Forests are trash free – so pack out what you bring in.

Guidelines and Approval Form
Currently, Savage River has approximately 30 geocaches located throughout the state forest. This is a fun activity in which the entire family can participate to test their navigational and tracking skills. All geocaches must be submitted to the forest headquarters for review and approval before being placed anywhere on the state forest. Applications and general rules for geocache placement are available at the state forest headquarters.
