Looking for a fun morning hike before your Memorial Day festivities get underway?

Consider checking out Fairland Regional Park in Laurel, Maryland. If you have kids involved in sports, you may be familiar with Fairland as it is the home of a number of sports facilities: soccer, football, baseball, ice hockey, swimming, and more.

However, this little treasure tucked into Prince George’s County Laurel and part of Montgomery County also has a number of trails weaving in and out for your dog walking explorations.

Those who prefer to stay on a paved trail will find themselves pleased with the options at Fairland–beautiful sights with informational markers make for a great walk. Don’t worry, your pet will have plenty to sniff too!

The unpaved trails through the woods allow you to really connect with nature. At some points the footing can be a little precarious, but those who like a good walk through the woods will find themselves pleased with the options at Fairland.

If you can’t make your way to Laurel this Holiday, mark this park as a great option for the future! For more information, visit: http://www.montgomeryparks.org/PPSD/ParkTrails/trails_MAPS/trailmap_pdfs/fairland_trails.pdf
