This Epic Waterfall In Maryland Is A Must-Visit

Spring is upon us and so far, it seems the temperature cannot make up its mind. One day it’s chilly; the next day it’s 80 degrees. That’s why now is the perfect time to visit Maryland’s Swallow Falls State Park. The plants and trees are blooming and the park is not yet overcrowded with pesky tourists. Here are the reasons you should visit this park as soon as possible…

Swallow Falls State Park has two of Maryland's most majestic waterfalls, but it also has so much more.

The park offers several angles in which to view Muddy Creek Falls. You can take in the beauty of the falls like this...

Or stand atop the rocky overlook of the falls for a bird's eye view like this.

Next, hit the 1 1/4 mile trail that spans parallel to the Youghiogheny River. The terrain of this short hike varies from smooth and serene...

To rocky and uneven. Still, at only 1 1/4 miles long, it's worth it.

And since the trail runs along the river, you'll continuously want to stop and take in the views.

Eventually, you'll finally make it to the other park's amazing waterfall, Swallow Falls. Relax in this lower area where some folks like to swim during the summer...

Or climb atop of the ledge overlooking Swallow Falls for this glorious sight!
