Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Frederick and Western Maryland right now.
Frederick is a great home base for exploring the region's lush mountain forests, powerful national battlefields, and quaint historic towns.
At Swallow Falls State Park, paths wind along the Youghiogheny River, past shaded rocky gorges and rippling rapids, to a 53-foot waterfall. One of Maryland's hidden gems, the park is also known for its assemblage of 300-year-old hemlocks and for excellent camping, hiking, and fishing facilities.
