State Park Overview:
This mountain park is located nine miles north of Oakland, Maryland contains some of Maryland's most breathtaking scenery. The Youghiogheny River flows along the park's borders, passing through shaded rocky gorges and creating rippling rapids. Muddy Creek Falls is a crashing 63-foot waterfall – a spectacular sight. Tall hemlocks dominate the silent woods. The meandering trails through Swallow Falls guide hikers to some of the most breath-taking scenery in Western Maryland. This is a Maryland State Park. For full information go to the official webpage. (Link on the right side)
Reviews By Park Visitors:

Great Place for a HOT day

Just minutes from Deep Creek Lake, I like its trails, streams, and its small falls. The perfect way to spend the day with your family just sitting in the stream as the water pours down upon you.
