Located in the picturesque Catoctin Mountains, Cunningham Falls State Park is divided into two separate but unique areas. The William Houck Area located off of Route 77 has the 78-foot cascading namesake waterfall, a 43 acre lake, and camping area. The Manor Area off of Route 15 has the Scales & Tales Aviary, the historic Catoctin Iron Furnace and a camping area. With plenty to explore, natural outdoor activities abound at Cunningham Falls State Park: swimming, hiking, fishing, boating, camping and more.
