Editor’s Note — This rock maze is no longer open to the public.
The Old Line State is full of surprises. Just when I thought I’d seen everything, I discover that there’s a rock maze hidden in the woods of Western Maryland. Check out this unique hiking spot that’s like its own little world.
Garrett State Forest covers 8,042 acres in Western Maryland. Head here for camping, fishing, archery, and best of all… hiking along a hidden rock maze.

The rock maze is located in the Snaggy Mountain area. Keep your eyes peeled for the Rock Maze Trail sign and prepare to be amazed.
