West Side Trails. The West Side Trails of Catoctin Mountain Park offer a wilder, more quiet hiking experience. Adventurous hikers are more likely to see wildlife, wetlands, and an up-close view of nature. Remnants of former farms dot the land. The park's west side contains picnic areas, campgrounds, and Adirondack Shelters that connect with the trails. Self-guided brochures for the Brown's Farm and Deerfield Nature Trail are also available. Hiking - Catoctin Mountain Park (U.S. National Park Service)
