Black Hill Regional Park
Black Hill Regional Park is a Montgomery County park in Boyds, Maryland. There are views of Little Seneca Lake. Trails provide views of the lake and provide nature and wildlife viewing. Look for scenic vistas, forest landscapes, wildlife, rock and trail details, and maybe a start of seasonal color. The park is open at Sunrise, so early morning shots are available for any that wish to venture out early!
