North East sits at the head of the Chesapeake, and Gilpins Falls is its local claim, a long rocky slide on North East Creek next to a preserved covered bridge, though the trail data on it is thin. Kilgores Rocks, west in Harford County, is the reliable hike, 1.3 miles out and back to a 17 foot fall with a swimming hole at the bottom. Dogs are welcome there and at Wiley Falls, which is a flat mile. Four falls come inside the radius.

Located at 39.6076°N, -75.9414°W
