Muddy Creek Falls Maple Glade Road, Oakland, MD 21550

"beautiful waterfall, part of swallow falls state park there is a handicap accessible viewing platform as well"

"There’s 3 very photogenic waterfalls in this park. Last Thursday there was an ice storm, when we went down to both Swallow Falls and Muddy Creek Falls on Sunday there was still a significant amount of ice on the path leading to the steps, on the steps themselves and on the hand rail. We seen several people fall. It’s beautiful park, you could easily spend the day here going to all the waterfalls just heed the warnings and wear Yak Traks or some other cleats if you plan on visiting in the winter after a snow or when ice may be present."

"This falls is absolutely gorgeous and only a short walk from the parking. There are plenty of places to sit down there as well, and you can explore a little up and down the river."

"This is the tallest falls in Maryland. It's best viewed inside Swallow Falls State Park. Make sure to visit by looking across the Youghiogheny River. It's not that far of a hike, but the trail entrance is on the main road near the bridge. I like to visit early in the morning so that the sun is low enough for even lighting and better photography."

"A great place to bring the family, dog, or even just go for a solo walk in the woods. Being the largest free falling waterfall in Maryland it is quite an impressive site."
