Parking Spot At Cunningham Falls

Address: Thurmont, MD 21788, USA

“We love love love to park here and hike as a family, with our 4 kids under 5. It is super accessible even for our little ones and the waterfalls do not disappoint. We always pack a snack or lunch to eat once we reach the falls and will always wear 2 children to make it a little easier on the little ones. You do have to take all your trash with you at this park, no trash cans. Only porter potties in the off season. We love to visit the playground after our hike and it is so close to this parking lot as is the beach of the lake our kids love to skip rocks on and throw sticks at.”

The William Houck

Address: 14039 Catoctin Hollow Rd, Thurmont, MD 21788, USA

“We love it ! Not far from Washington DC, the route to get in there is beautiful it’s even an overlook on the way. The trails range from all types and the handicap trail is perfect for the kids. Even though we did the easy trail which was easy enough and beautiful all the way through. Unfortunately, the end isn’t parallel with the waterfall and it’s no way to see the front, it’s blocked off with signs and a fence. I’m not sure which trail leads to the front of the waterfall but I figure once my kids are older we can try again.”

Mount Tabor Park

Address: 13616 Motters Station Rd, Rocky Ridge, MD 21778, USA
