Lake Needwood features boats for rent, trails to walk or ride, and places for a nice picnic. On summer weekends it can get quite crowded, but on an autumn or winter day, it's a beautiful place for some solitude.

Although there are often alot of people there, it is so big you'll never feel crowded. Lot's of places to explore, picninc, and play. We've enjoyed this gem for years and visit in every season.

if you love the change of seasons in the Mid atlantic and are a runner or walker then you need to stop by Needwood park and trail. clean, gorgeous colors in the spring and fall. easy mile markers too!

Always been a great place and so close to everything. It is the nicest park I've ever been too but it has everything you need for a nice day out on the lake. For anyone in the Rockville area who has never been here; this is a must visit on a lazy afternoon.
