Breathtaking scenery in Western Maryland! As you meander along the trails through the park, the Wild and Scenic Youghiogheny River flows along the park's borders, passing through shaded rocky gorges and creating rippling rapids. Tall hemlock trees blanket the silent woods. Muddy Creek Falls is a crashing 53-foot waterfall - a dramatic and spectacular sight to see!
