Cunningham Falls, MD

I spent some time in Maryland this past week and planned a 'detour' to stay overnight at Cunningham Falls State Park. I camped in the Elderberry loop, and with only about 4 other sites occupied so I enjoyed a quiet evening. In the morning I broke camp early and set out for the falls. Two trails lead to the falls - a 3/4 mile cliffside trail marked in yellow and a 1/2 mile marked in red. The yellow trail is described as 'moderate to difficult' and the red as 'easy to moderate'. I walked in on the red trail and consider it within the abilities of most people. The two trails both eventually end up at the base of the falls.
When I arrived two people already at the falls were walking out. I'd heard the falls were rather popular, so I was most fortunate to experience the falls in solitude.
