Nature Quest
Nature Quest provides a great opportunity to experience the outdoors and be active with friends and family while discovering some of the best parks and trails in Baltimore County. You can bike, hike, or canoe on designated trails to complete the Nature Quest and earn fun prizes. The Nature Quest is ongoing but Questers who complete at least 5 trails each year receive free admission to the Quest Festival on October 21, noon to 2 PM at Lake Roland Park and are entered into raffles for great prizes.
