Muddy Creek Falls is a beautiful waterfall that is the highest free-falling waterfall in the state of Maryland. The waterfall drops over 53 feet from the Youghiogheny River, which has many other smaller waterfalls as well. Visitors can also enjoy the park’s old hemlock trees, some of which are over 300 years old. The park has been around since 1906 and has been visited by many notable people, including Harvey Firestone, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison. In addition to viewing the waterfalls, visitors will be able to visit the park’s picnic area complete with pavilion and playground, walk the hiking trails, go mountain biking, or camp in one of the many campsites.
