Cunningham Falls

Cunningham Falls is Maryland's highest waterfall. It slides down a rock face in a number of steps. Hunting Creek does not have a large watershed and the falls can get pretty thin.

Waterfalls of the Potomac River Region

Take a trip today from Washington to Harpers Ferry and it’s a 45-minute drive along four-lane highways. With our modern conveniences it’s hard to envision how difficult such a trip would have been in George Washington’s day, especially if you were hauling a load of cargo. Washington had a dream of taming the Potomac River with a series of bypass canals, and he formed a company to build them. His Patowmack Company enterprise did build canals on the Virginia side of the river, but the venture had limited success. Another company’s later effort, dubbed the “Great National Project,” resulted in the 184.5-mile Chesapeake and Ohio Canal on the Maryland side of the river, stretching from Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, Maryland. The canal was doomed from the start, however, with construction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad beginning on the same day. Although the canal remained in operation from 1850 until 1924, the railroad proved the better means for transporting cargo. Today, the canal is protected as a national historic park. It’s a popular route for hikers and bicyclists, and a good place to get away from the maddening Washington crowds. Most of the waterfalls listed for this region are on the Potomac River, and only one of those, Great Falls, is anything to get excited about. This eTrail includes Great Falls of the Potomac

Muddy Creek Falls

Muddy Creek Falls is in Swallow Falls State Park near Oakland, Maryland. There is a $3 dollar fee to visit the park. Once in the park signs will guide you to the falls. This waterfall is the result of the Muddy Creek falling into the gorge carved out by the Youghiogheny River (known as the "Yawk"). The height of the falls is 53 feet, making it the highest waterfall in Maryland according to some. Cunningham Falls, also located in Maryland, is over 70 feet high but does not fall in a single drop.
