Welcome to this wiki. The goal of this wiki is to crowd-source drone information. Having said that, information may be inaccurate, out-of-date, and should not be relied upon for legal advice.
A drone operator must contact the relevant Park Manager prior to flying a drone in a State Park.
Ref Maryland State Park Policy
Declares that only the State may enact laws to prohibit, regulate, or restrict the testing or operations of UAS.
Maryland State Legislature maintains pre-emption for all rules and regulations that concern recreational and
commercial drone use.
Local drone laws in Maryland refer to policies and regulations that are enacted and enforced at the county, city, or town levels.
Drone operations are only allowed in specific parks (Catoctin Creek Nature Center, Kemptown Park, Middletown Park, Old National Pike Park, Utica District Park) and only after completion of a Special Request Form.
