Patapsco Reserve.—This is adjacent to the City of Baltimore. Maryland here owns 916 acres, chiefly wooded land, with the addition of over 1,000 acres which are open to the public, with full park privileges in return for the protection which the Board gives to its respective owners in the matter of patrol against trespass and fire. The entire reserve is essentially a protection and a recreation forest. There are numerous camping sites in this reserve and the State Forester, who can be reached by telephone in Baltimore, will be glad to be of assistance to the motor camper.
