Seneca Creek State Park protects a long corridor through Montgomery County, with woodland trails and recreation around Clopper Lake near Gaithersburg.
The lake setting provides a convenient starting point for a walk or other permitted outdoor activity.
Choose an entrance and route using the state’s current map, since the park extends well beyond the lake area. Check boating, fishing and day-use requirements separately. The photograph shows autumn reflections on Clopper Lake, whose appearance changes by season. Follow current trail notices and allow for weather or maintenance closures before setting out.
