From Hagerstown:

Fort Frederick State Park is located in the Cumberland Valley, 18 miles west of Hagerstown and one mile south of I-70 near Big Pool (Rt. 56, Exit 12). The Visitors Center is to the right as you enter the park. That is where we will start the hike.

JThe park is stroller friendly

LThe concession and gift shop will not be open

There is normally a fee to tour the Fort, they have waived that for us in return for doing a little trash detail in the park, so bring a small bag to pick up trash.

There a numerous picnic tables throughout the park if you would like to bring a lunch or dinner.

The Cub Hike Club is only responsible for the hike. Anything additional you would like to do with your pack or your family is up to you.
