Clopper Lake

Clopper Lake, located within Seneca Creek State Park, spans 90 acres and has an average of 18 feet of depth. The lake has a lot of lush green flora, which enhances its aesthetic appeal. This is one of the best lakes to visit in Maryland. Even a deer or two occasionally peeks out from behind the foliage. A watchful blue heron can be seen around the shoreline, calmly waiting to catch a fish or a small turtle that has come to enjoy the sunshine.

The finest method to relax and commune with nature is to go boating on flat water. However, swimming is not permitted here, unlike many other lakes in Maryland.

To gain a comprehensive picture of the lake and its surroundings, take a hike along the Lake Shore Trail. For more adventure, you can also check out the other surrounding trails. Visit during the fall for the most beautiful reflection of the leaves on Clopper Lake.
