Scenic Byways

In Maryland, there are 19 state Scenic Byways that reflect the rich heritage of the region surrounding each of the routes. 

By driving these byways, our visitors and residents can explore the roads less traveled and appreciate Maryland even more.  Each byway has a theme and must meet at least one of the six intrinsic qualities required in order to be a State Scenic Byway: historical, scenic, cultural, recreational, archeological, and geological.

Three routs have earned national distinction as part of the America's Byways collection, the most significant routs throughout the country. These three America's Byways include Chesapeake Country, Catoctin Mountain and the Historic National Road byways.
