Yes, but only in the very southeast part of the state. Timber Rattlesnakes live in forested areas with heavy tree canopies: therefore it makes sense that they would only live in the southeast portion of the state, and not in the central or western part where the landscape is mostly prairie.

Timber rattlers can be found in western Maryland.
