PVSP

Species lists for all sites in PVSP have been combined. In addition, Race Road Wetlands has separate lists.
Each of the sites has a photo page including scenery and wildlife. Explore the bird and plant diversity of the entire park at PVSP Bird Photos and PVSP Plant Photos.
PVSP Headquarters is at Hollofield. For information, call 410-461-5005 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday - Friday.
To report problems, call headquarters or Park Watch at 1-800-825-7275.
Bow Hunting: There may be a deer hunting season in the fall and winter. See the section on Patapsco Valley Hunting Guide on the PVSP web page or Department of Natural Resources.

If you regularly bird in the PVSP, consider getting a trail map. A PVSP complete trail map is recommended for travel away from the river. The map is available for purchase at the Hollofield area Headquarters Building, the Avalon Visitor Center, and the Marriottsville contact station (McKeldin area). You may also purchase it from the Department of Natural Resources. (The correct map to order is Patapsco Valley State Park listed under Central Maryland—170 miles, mostly unmaintained–$6.00)

The Patapsco Valley Watershed has been the site of a number of fishway construction projects at dams, which DNR now says have not lived up to expectations. This is the map that is at the Daniels Dam.
