Three waterfalls on the Youghiogheny river, and an old grove forest, what a treat!
Despite the numerous families coming to enjoy water play and boldering with their children, we enjoyed walking among the hemlock stands, and catching glimpses of the river as we went.
First waterfall: Toliver Falls..... A idyllic small oasis.
And not a well kept secret. I cropped the photo drastically to avoid showing the numerous families standing around.
Second waterfall: Swallow Falls.
Loud, wild and much less accessible.
And for the finale: the Muddy Creek Falls, at 53 feet the highest waterfall in Maryland.
The waterfall is not on the "Yough" (short for Youghiogheny) but on Muddy Creek.
Of interest, the Yough flows north and the Muddy Creek flows southeast. When they meet, the opposing flows create quite a stir.
Distance: 1,75 miles; elevation: minimal, up and down along the river 😎
