Length: 5.6 miles, loop Difficulty: Moderate Best of all, Swallow Falls State Park is less than 30 minutes from our Deep Creek Lake house rentals. The small but gorgeous falls (and short and simple trail) are a nice option if you want to avoid crowds. If you’d like to see even more waterfalls-and add a little length to the hike-you can take a side path to reach Tolliver Falls. With the sounds of the rushing river, it’s a powerful sensory experience. The path is lined with rocky outcroppings with rhododendron and mountain laurel blooms. Your path follows the Youghiogheny River until you reach the majestic Muddy Creek Falls, before looping back through some woodlands. The sole trail from Swallow Falls on this list is a nice, breezy romp. Whether you’re here for the breathtaking Cascade Falls, or the river and mountain views atop the Potomac Overlook, it’s a hike you’ll look back on fondly.

What you’ll see along the way more than makes up for the distance. Tucked away in the trees is Lostland Run Trail: a seven-mile hike that requires around four hours.
