Gunpowder Falls

Again in 2019, the gate at the Jones Road take-out will be closed from Memorial Day weekend (May 25, 2019) through Labor Day weekend (reopening September 3, 2019). This is from a MD DNR sign at the entrance of the Jones Road takeout. The closure is because of overuse and trash accumulations at Jones Road over the last few summers (Also, US 40 in the vicinity of the river has been marked 'No Parking'). According to the Park, the Jones Road parking area should be open prior to May 25, 2019 and after September 2, 2019.
