The Hoyles Mill crossing is foot/bike/horse only.There are five known fords left in the county, including the Hoyles Mill crossing — two vehicle fords through Little Bennett Creek in Hyattstown on Prescott and Hyattstown Mill roads, a vehicle ford on West Old Baltimore Road through Ten Mile Creek in Boyds and a bicycle ford through Sligo Creek, according to Jamie Kuhns, a parks historian. The two Hyattstown fords were closed more than 12 years ago, and the streets were abandoned and became parks roads, according to the county's Rustic Roads Functional Master Plan. The Ten Mile Creek ford is still open.
