Discover St. Charles

St. Charles offers several different ways to enjoy your free time: paved trails, sports facilities, natural landscapes and a farmers market. When choosing a destination, consider which of these interests suit your stay. Those who enjoy walking or cycling will find different options from travelers interested in sports facilities or local produce. These distinctions can help you assess St. Charles based on your specific interests before looking for a hotel.

Trails and Outdoor Sports

Several miles of paved multi-use trails run through St. Charles and around the community. The trails are intended for walking and cycling, offering two ways to enjoy them: a stroll or a bike ride. If you would rather experience St. Charles on the move than at a single sports facility, the trails provide a distinct focus for planning your free time.

White Plains Regional Park has lighted tennis courts and ball fields, a 15,000-square-foot skate park and a dog park. These amenities differ from the multi-use trails: the focus here is on facilities for tennis, ball games and skateboarding. This lets you consider trails and individual sports as distinct options for enjoying your free time.

White Plains Dog Park is a public off-leash dog park. It is operated and maintained by the Parks and Grounds Division of the Charles County government. If you are planning a visit with your dog, its designation as an off-leash area is a useful detail for planning your free time.

FootGolf is available at White Plains Golf Course on weekdays and weekends after 12:00 p.m. You can factor this time window into your day’s plans. If FootGolf is a focus of your trip, plan your visit around the stated availability and check the latest information in advance.

Regency Furniture Stadium is also connected with sports: it is the home stadium of the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. If attending a possible game is important to your trip, check the latest schedule in advance and plan accordingly.

Landscapes and Markets

Across St. Charles’s 9,100 acres, you’ll find tranquil ponds, protected woodlands, green fields and mature trees. These landscape features offer a different focus from the specific sports facilities. If you prioritize scenery over individual activities when choosing a destination, these natural and green spaces provide a distinct focus for planning your trip.

The St. Charles Farmers Market is a producer-only market: only products grown, baked, raised or prepared by local farmers are permitted. The St. Charles farmers market by the lake offers fruit, vegetables, meat and cheese. If you’re interested in markets, both the producer-only rule and these specific product categories can help you decide whether to visit.
