June - Great Outdoor Month

Gilbert Run DockJune is designated as the “Great Outdoor Month” and guess what you can do when you are in Charles County and exploring the outdoors? You get to re-live your childhood memories. Splash in the Potomac River at Chapel Point State Park, or swim at a local county pool at either La Plata, Lackey or St. Charles High Schools. Relax under the blanket of the sun and enjoy tossing a line at your local honey fishing spot, Mattawoman Creek at Indian Head, Potomac River at Smallwood State Park or Wheatly Lake at Gilbert Run Park. Look up through the canopy of trees while hiking and birdwatching at Laurel Springs Regional Park or Port Tobacco River Park. How about grabbing your entire family and either walk, run, or bike the Indian Head Rail Trail? We have your outdoor activities right here in your own backyard.
