10 Bridges in Maryland That You Shouldn't Miss

January 3, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Maryland is known as “America in Miniature” because of its great variations in topography and culture. This makes it a perfect east coat travel destination for those who would like to experience a little bit of everything. From amusement parks, to beaches, to mountains and historical sites, there is plenty to see and do. Each region of Maryland provides its own unique and fun activities to do. If you're headed for some fun in the sun in Ocean City on its eastern coast, be sure not to miss the Ocean City Beach, the Boardwalk, or Trimper's Rides and Amusement Park for an all-ages fun experience. Central Maryland is home to a Six Flags theme park, the Annapolis Golf Club, and countless hubs of art and culture such as the African Art Museum and Annapolis Opera, Inc. Heading to western Maryland? It is perfect for lovers of nature and the outdoors, with the Washington Monument State Park, Wisp Resort ski slopes, and the spectacular Muddy Creek Falls.

Not only is the bridge very picturesque but there is also a nice park nearby with ample parking, bathrooms, and a fun playground. Those things combined made it a fun stop for our entire family!

Burnside's Bridge

After first reading about the Battle of Antietam way back in 1985 as a mere 10 y/o lad, it was so great to finally see the iconic bridge it up close and personal. I hasten to add that I had an amazing tour guide by the name of Justin Mayhue, a retired Fire Chief who personally knows/knew American Civil War authors such as Perry Jamieson (author of “Attack and Die”) and the late Joseph L. Harsh (“Taken at the Flood”). Justin has an incredible wealth of knowledge!

On our way to Gettysburg from Frederick, we stopped here to have a picnic lunch. We found the area to be clean and were pleasantly surprised that there was even a bathroom. We also enjoyed getting some fun photos.

Second time across the bridge - this time travelling east away from Annapolis. The toll is $4 but for this you get a fantastic view of the ocean as you cross around 4 miles on a bridge rising high over the water. It’s a great experience.
