Small national park with wooded trails. Disappointing that most trails did not lead to mountain overlooks. Camp David is in the middle of this park, but you won't get close to it! Full review by Suzanne H

I don't remember any falls in the free National Park part. But across highway 77 is a State Park (entry fee) that has falls. And there is a parking area about a half mile west of the turnoff for Catoctin Hollow Road. I've had knee replacements and I was able to walk the couple hundred feet of level boardwalk to get back to the big Cunningham falls. It is free and wheelchair accessible. If you go on Google Maps and click on the trail that ends at the falls it has a bunch of pictures so you can see what to expect. You can't touch the water from the boardwalk, but you get up within 20 yards of the falls so you can see it well. To actually go in the falls you would have to walk more rugged trails from the State Park side.
