waterfalls
Even kids
will find these
trails cool
O
By Katie Riley
n a recent Sunday morning at Cascade Falls in
Patapsco State Park, the shrieks of delighted
children were the only sounds to disturb the surrounding woodlands.
“Awesome!” shouted my daughter as we
spotted our first glimpse of the falls from the Cascades Hiking
Trail. “Cool!” echoed my 7-year-old, as he flung his shoes and
jumped off a craggy rock into the pool of water at the base of
the falls.
The allure of waterfalls has been documented for centuries,
but they are never more enticing than on a hot summer’s day.
Here are five hikes in Maryland where your family can experience the magic of a waterfall.
Cascade Falls
Cascade Falls at Patapsco Valley State Park is the ideal destination for kids of all ages. It has falls, pools of water and a
trickling stream perfect for splashing.
Head to the Orange Grove area and park near the swinging
bridge. The Cascade Falls Trail begins across the street from
the swinging bridge. Walk just 300 yards up the trail before
catching a glimpse of the first series of falls. The slightly hilly
terrain is easy for little ones to traverse, and kids will love
scrambling over the rocks to wade in the pools below. Three
different waterfalls offer a shallow splashing area for kids to
gather rocks and get close to the falls.
At the last set of falls, climb the rock staircase to continue on
for a longer hike on the Cascades Trail (2.2 miles), a serene and
moderate-level hike through the woods along a babbling brook.
This popular trail can get busy on weekends, so catch the falls
early in the day before continuing on this 60-minute, familyfriendly hike. Afterwards, cool off with a refreshing swim in the
Patapsco River, which runs just beside the parking lot.
