Gambrill State Park is a popular public recreation area near the town of Frederick, Maryland on Catoctin Mountain. The lovely mountain park is known for its spectacular views of the surrounding area from several stone overlooks that were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The park road crosses Catoctin Mountain and reaches the trailhead, the campground, and the High Knob part of the park. The park has two distinct areas: the Rock Run area with a picnic area, a campground, and a small pond and the High Knob area, which also has a picnic area, three picnic shelters, three stone overlooks, and a stone lodge called the Tea Room. The overlooks provide magnificent views of the Frederick and Middletown valleys.
