UPDATE (4/14/23): The Dans Mountain Pool and bathhouse are currently under renovation and are expected to reopen on or around July 1, 2023. We apologize for the delay. For questions, please call 301-895-5453.
Update (May 2022): A new hiking and mountain biking trail is now complete at Dans Mountain State Park and open for public use. Parking is available at the swimming pool area, and the trail can be accessed near the Daniel Cresap monument. The trail is approximately five miles in length and is rated moderate in difficulty with some challenging sections due to the variability of terrain and changes in elevation. Please exercise good judgement for the first few weeks as new trails can be fragile and more-easily damaged by use after wet weather.
