This is a very nice state park featuring several water falls along the Youghiogheny river. There is a nice path higher up in the woods that takes you to each water falls, then a down path to access the water. There is a riverside scramble you can walk, but lots of rocks. It was raining so we avoided all the rocks. Bring your hiking boots.

It is absolutely gorgeous, but at the present time, the trail is solid ice. Unless you have ice trekkers, it is certainly a near death experience! Once on the trail, it is solid ice with a canyon and river on one side and a rock wall on the other. Had to slide and crawl over a few treacherous spots.

We briefly visited this park to see the Muddy Creek Falls… outstanding it was least to say. Have never hoped to see so much water in late December. The falls is approx 5 mins walk from the park office or 2 mins walk from the wheelchair parking area.

We visited the park while staying nearby in a cabin. The park offers a short hike to the beautiful Muddy Creek Falls, though you can take a longer trail to reach the falls if you prefer. Either way, the scenery was stunning, and the fall colors were perfect.😍🥾 Just a note: the entrance had a $5 charge per person for out-of-state visitors, and I believe it was $3 for in-state residents.💵 Overall, the park was great, and it’s clear they maintain it very well. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful place Very nice views Nice trails $3 and $5 entry for residents and non residents of the MD respectively. Went here over a weekend with family. The trail was very a easy walk with most area we'll marked, at a few places the marking could have been better. The views were beautiful. A good place to spend a day!
