Waterfall Hikes in Maryland (MD)
to explore
Maryland’s waterfall country is concentrated in the western Allegheny highlands and central Piedmont, where Appalachian ridges, narrow gorges and rocky river valleys form bedrock ledges and cascades; the eastern coastal plain is largely tidal and yields few falls. Hikes are mostly short to moderate — rocky, root-strewn trails through shaded hollows and cliffside ledges with only a couple truly easy family walks — and the state stands out for seasonal, modest-height cascades tucked close to urban parklands.
