Can you fly a drone in Baltimore County parks?
Baltimore County parks
Baltimore County Recreation & Parks says drones are not currently allowed in county parks. The county is writing a drone policy, so this may change, and a county web listing that shows a park allowing drones is out of date. For a place to fly, the county points pilots to the Southwest Area Park Modelers’ dedicated flying field. State parks in Baltimore County, like Gunpowder Falls and North Point, follow state park rules instead.
