Bucklodge Forest Conservation Park Trails
Description
In October of 2000, Bucklodge Forest Conservation Park became the first acquisition by Montgomery County through the Legacy Open Space program, an initiative to identify and protect thousands of acres of exceptional open land and historic resources throughout the County.
The Park is approximately 215 acres and located in the northwest section of Montgomery County in the vicinity of Barnesville, MD. Generally, the topography of the Park slopes gently from the sides inward, toward the center of the property, and then southerly in the direction of the Bucklodge Branch. There are some small areas of steeper slopes located in the east section of the site.
