Bucklodge Conservation Park

Bucklodge Forest Conservation Park became the first acquisition by Montgomery County through the Legacy Open Space program, in October of 2000. The Legacy Open Space program is an initiative to identify and protect thousands of acres of exceptional open land and historic resources throughout the County.

The Park, approximately 215 acres, is located in the northwest section of Montgomery County in the vicinity of Barnesville, MD. Generally, the topography of the Park slopes gently from the sides inward, toward the center of the property, and then southerly in the direction of the Bucklodge Branch. There are some small areas of steeper slopes located in the east section of the site.
