about us

Swallow Falls State Park stretches 257 acres and is located about six miles north of Oakland, on Swallow Falls Road.

This mountainous park contains some of Maryland's most breathtaking scenery. The Youghiogheny River flows along the park's borders, passing through shaded rocky gorges and creating rippling rapids.

Muddy Creek Falls is a crashing 53-foot waterfall?a spectacular sight. Tall hemlocks dominate the silent woods, and pets are allowed at designated sites all year.
