Outdoor Activities in Baltimore — Trails, Paddling & Beer Gardens

When the weather cooperates, the city moves outside. Trails at Oregon Ridge and Patapsco, paddling and sailing on the Bay, beer gardens and waterfront patios, group runs that end at a brewery. We track the outdoor moves worth making — the daytime ones and the ones that roll into the evening.
