Close to reservoir parks and the popular Merriweather Post Pavilion

Triadelphia Lake Recreation Area is a private park west of Clarksville, maintained by the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission. With the purchase of a permit, guests can fish, hunt, picnic, ride horses on the park's trails or take out kayaks on the lake. Brighton Dam Recreation Park is south of the lake and features a playground and basketball court, while picnic tables and public barbecues overlook the dam. “Highland is next door, where there's an equestrian center nearby,” says Terri Westerlund, a Howard County local and Realtor with The Westerlund Group of Samson Properties. Some residents own horses; those who don’t can purchase them from nearby businesses, such as Silver Medallion Farm, which also offers a training facility for equestrian sports. Locals can catch a concert from nationally touring artists at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Maryland's largest outdoor amphitheater, which can hold up to 19,000 people in seats and on the lawn.

Washington or Baltimore in an hour or less

Due to the secluded nature of Clarksville, residents rely on cars to get around. “People work in Baltimore or D.C. and locally around the county,” says Westerlund. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is eight miles away in Laurel and employs over 8,000 people. Baltimore is 27 miles away on Route 32, and the Baltimore/Washington International Airport is 23 miles away. Washington, D.C., is 38 miles away on Interstate 95, which takes about an hour to reach, while Baltimore is around forty minutes away. The nearest hospital is the Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center, nine miles east.
