Reviews of Gathland State Park
"Stopped in at sunset. Beautiful & peaceful...well maintained."
"Had a great time on my hike to the shelters. Perfect distance just over 3 miles. Perfect for an afternoon hike out to camp over night!"
"So small of the area. But so cool. Appalachian.Trial-AT is right pass. And the landmark of the gate way is well worth the trip. Areas of picnic.and easy for parking."
"I love visiting this War Correspondence Memorial nestled in the hills near Boonsboro, Rhoresville and near surrounding Harper Ferry. Close to Burkettsville....great area for a picnic, walking with your pets or just some quiet time."
"History, if you like. If not, still a great place to visit, explore and hike!! One great thing is that this state park has a restrooms! And clean too!! We hiked about .4 miles on the Appalachian Trail, walked a total of 1.13 miles including walking around the park. People traveling thru are very nice. Definitely a stop to make and spend about an hour here. Dogfriendly too!!"
