    Lake Montebello is OPEN again! (https://x.com/BaltimoreDPW) Just in time for us to be BACK OUTSIDE! WELCOME BACK spring and THANK YOU Mother Nature for FINALLY fighting back! Supported an @dohpuhmeenwellness event today and SUPER glad I did. Only did less than 2 miles around the lake today but the weather, company and other fellow adventurers today were PERFECT. Shameless plug, but follow @dohpuhmeenwellness for info about the next walk here at Lake Montebello. #LakeMontebello #BmoreDPW @dpwbaltimorecity

    I'm always trying to look for new places to run in Baltimore, and I was very pleased at Lake Montebello! The lake has a paved track around it that is approximately 1.3 miles long (I ran 3 laps and got 4 miles) and FLAT. If you wanted, there seemed to be some offshoots from the main track that you could use to lengthen your run/break up the constant laps but I didn't try that. The track is split into two sides so there are two directions people can walk/bike/run in. The scenery was a much needed change from city running - it's CLEAN and my eyes felt so refreshed from all the green and blue from the grass, trees, and water! An added bonus is that during quarantine/social distancing time, the lake is so large that people are adequately spaced out here (vs along the waterfront or Patterson Park) and there is the police car enforcing social distancing with the occasional announcement. Tip: street parking is pretty easy to find along the houses right next to the lake. I will definitely be back!

    I love this lake, so peaceful, parking is so so, people are always there, I've been about 3 times and each time it's pretty crowded, many different fitness classes are held there.

    Beautiful Fall Day

    One of my absolute favorite places in Baltimore City. I live in Parkville so the lake is only a few miles from me. I come there to run or walk and there's usually probably 10-20 other people there. People are respectful to one another, never seems to be any sort of incident when I visit despite being near a couple unsafe neighborhoods. The lake is clean and I've seen anyone litter. Although it's near a couple unsafe neighborhoods there is also one of my favorite city neighborhoods, Mayfield, just to the east of the lake. Beautiful houses, some of which overlook the lake, and well kept lawns make that neighborhood worth exploring! I'd recommend Lake Montebello to anyone!

    I had no plans of actually coming to this place but because I was unable to find the meeting place for my $5 5k in Herring Run Park, I stumbled upon this place and decided to just do my run here. I was amazed about the size of the lake and the cleanliness of the area. I can't to come back again and especially when it turns to spring.

    Lovely.

    It's a lake. It is awesome. Great place to bike, walk or jog during the day. Nice spot to have an outdoor luncheon if you can take the winter cold. Good times.

    Beautiful place to come and get your exercise on. Quiet and safe. Even if you don't feel like exercising, you can come here and get a nice breeze and some meditation. I would highly recommend this spot!

    This is my favorite place in all of Baltimore so far. I love watching the sunset here. It's very beautiful. It's easy to ride my bike over. I like that there is a separate path for cars.

    I mean it's a cool little workout spot. Used to come here to workout during college. I wouldn't even think about it during the summer.

    AFRAM this year! Be there or be square. The park sees the largest influx of people during the year…read more Food, music, and culture.

    This park is HUGE! And I love me a good park…read more I've been here a few times for road races, but never to just check out the park itself. Since retiring, I've been hitting up every outdoor space on my list. I came to walk the trail(s), but one visit is simply not enough. I see that now. I'll definitely have to come back on my bike to get the lay of the land. Random, but everytime I come to this park, my GPS takes me on a tour of the neighborhood when I can see the park is RIGHT THERE. Anyway, I came during the week and parked on a side road inside the park. Again, I'm not really familiar with the best place to park to access whatever it is I'm trying to access. I started walking on the trail and was actually hoping I didn't get lost (even though my Garmin can take me back to my starting point). I asked a woman where to go and she directed me to 'the loop'. The loop will work for today! Apparently the loop was closed due to construction. There's work being done on the water tanks (or something like that). But the loop is open, and it's a bit over 1 mile. It's smooth, and I'm already plotting to try it on my bike. But there's absolutely NO SHADE on this portion, so plan accordingly. From the loop I could see the pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts, so I made my way there, via a trail. Again, the park is huge! From my research, it's the third oldest established park in the United States! Whoa! And, it covers 745 acres of land. Like I said, you'll have to come more than once to see all there is to see. That includes the Baltimore Zoo, which is inside the park. I'll be back on my bike for more recon.
