Hike the Barrens at Soldiers Delight

Take a hike on the seafloor of an ancient ocean at Soldier’s Delight Natural Area. Known as “The Great Maryland Barrens” to early pioneers, this area encompasses 1,900 acres and is the largest remaining serpentine ecosystem in the eastern United States. It is home to 39 rare, threatened, or endangered plant species, insects, rocks, and minerals.
We’ll hike about 1.5 miles to learn about these special plants and insects in this area, as well as how these areas are managed and why they are disappearing. If the group wishes to hike further, that may be possible. The trail and surrounding areas are rocky in places.
