Rocky Gap State Park, MD

[David R]

Spent two nights at this state park this weekend. It is located in the western Maryland panhandle. Very beautiful area. I consider this a large state park. The 248 acre lake is larger than I had imaged. I found out once I got there that there is a golf resort there too. The park has all the amenities including a country store, kayak, canoe, paddle boat rentals, etc. The shower house was about 200 ft. from my campsite. There is a small dam which I hiked below to the creek. I really enjoyed the creek which was very cold. The only downside was that I could hear the interstate while hiking around the lake.

Looks like there may be beavers in the park.

Really beautiful country. Glad you enjoyed it. Too bad about the interstate noise.

Welmack,

It is very beautiful out here on the east coast. I grew up in Killeen Tx, just a little bit southeast of you guys and really enjoyed the Tx hill country. Texas is beautiful in it's own right. Can you imagine a 15 year old boy with a Suzuki 50 stumbling across this site below Stillhouse Hollow Dam? I grew up there way before anyone noticed. Now it is a "park" with no vehicles or camping allowed. Heh Heh... I beat the trend...

BTW: I just have to visit the canyon lands just north of you guys...
