Beautiful waterfall and fairly simple well marked trail to get there. It appears that there is a good lake by the trailhead for water sports in the summer too.

Maggie MacG

Beautiful park with great shaded paths for even warm days.

Rich Glass

Great place to camp with the family. Hike Chimney Rock and Wolf Rock if you get a chance. At least make sure you hike to the falls. Also great trout fishing . Read more

Lake area: No open bathrooms or trash cans before the summer season. Other wise, nice park .

Holds the Catoctin Furnace, where free and enslaved African Americans labored to produce iron for Revolutionary and Civil War arms.

Delicious apples and pears. But you can't pick your own which was a bummer. Definitely will get apples again from here. - Amy Norton
