    My husband and I come to this park frequently to get away from the city! There are great trails leading to several overlooks into the valleys below. Chimney rock gives an awesome view of the mountainside, but can be intimidating to climb on. We love to hike here and camp at Cunningham Falls State Park across the road. It’s worth it to book a campsite to enjoy both parks thoroughly. Parking can be crowded during summer months, so plan accordingly. Great park to enjoy and the rangers in the visitor center are very nice and helpful.

    I worked there as a volunteer, for the better part of a summer. Until I got too hot for me to be able to continually go out there. The park is beautifully manicured and absolutely pleasant hiking is abundant. There is also ample parking everywhere. And I have personally hiked several of the trails. Everyone who works there is super pleasant and are always pleasant every time I go. Always looking forward to getting back out there this spring.

    Our go-to family hike choice. Many trails at all ability levels. Easier trails for smaller children, as well as more challenging for adults. Falls area is a fun stop and cool off place. Hog rock is an ideal trail choice for children, its mostly flat, not long, and easily accesible with restrooms.

    Maybe the biggest part of my 5 star rating is the nearly perfect day we had for a hike. We desperately wanted to be outside after what seemed a month of rain and clouds. Catoctin Mountain was a wonderful escape. We chose the Hog Rock loop from the Visitor Center, an approximate 4.6 mile loop with a rise in elevation of about 600 feet to the highest point. The views at the top were worth the hike. Also the uphill segments were separated, so it wasn't one big climb of 600 feet. It made for a good workout, but wasn't super strenuous. The park was very busy during our visit, but with the help of a Park Service employee we found parking quickly. There were many people enjoying the trails, but once we got away from the Visitor Center we had stretches to ourselves. There are many different trails to venture into.
