This is a really impressive, unique historic site along the Appalachian Trial.
This park has excellent Appalachian Trail access. Go north 3 mi to White Rocks or south 6 mi to Weaverton Cliffs.
The large stone monument is dedicated to the memory of Civil War correspondents
Ranger program is fab for kids! #nature #kids #eco #MD

The trails are not very suitable for horses (very narrow, steep, and rocky). The trees are not trimmed high enough for riders. We rode the yellow and red trails. Would be a very nice hike. - Christie Dowling
