I've been here dozens of times and never tire of the beauty. Being a local I come here many times per year. And there are reasons to come different times of the year. Spring the falls are running full, summer and fall they can be low, and in the winter the river sometimes freezes over. Just an amazing place to... More

The water falls (there are three, Muddy River falls is the tallest in Maryland) are great, and the trails are easy. Parking is $3, so bring cash!

Stunning and perfect for Kayaking Took many, many photos stayed for a long time to relax in the huge Hemlock and Pine forest surrounding the falls

The Deer Park guy showed off... More

This becomes limiting when you are not allowed to leave your pets at your campsite unattended either. They are very strict about the policy. Other than the pet policy... More
