For 82 years, the Patuxent Research Refuge has been helping scientists preserve and study local wildlife, but it also makes for an easy hike that helps locals get close to nature. The refuge, which is located in Laurel, Maryland, features walking paths that cross through the woods and floating bridges that cross over the refuge's lakes. According to the Patuxent Research Refuge, some 270 species of birds have been spotted on the site; although many have flown elsewhere for the winter, some species have stayed local. Whether you take a long hiking loop through the refuge or pick something shorter, you'll have plenty to see yearound. (Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/DC Refined)
