Black Hill Regional Park, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA by wsbaggett

This panorama of Little Seneca Lake in Maryland was taken from the Visitor Center of Black Hill Regional Park in Montgomery County. This shows the lake on April 2, 2010 -- a bright spring afternoon before the trees have leafed out. At the left is a small gazebo and fishing pier, with a pebbly "beach" and boat docks. Sweeping to the right is a paved path in the foreground, with houses on the hills across the lake. Just right of center, beyond the path, is a bat house while a purple martin house appears toward the right hand side. Little Seneca Lake covers 505 acres, while the park, including the lake, covers 1843 acres. More information about the park can be found at www.montgomeryparks.org/facilities/regional_parks/blackhill/index.shtm  . This was our first trip to this park, and we found it to be a very enjoyable place, with well-maintained trails and facilities. I expect we will be back.
