Where the Waterfalls Are
Myersville sits in or near the Catoctin Mountain area of Maryland. Catoctin Mountain, the easternmost ridge of the Blue Ridge in Maryland, rises above the Frederick Valley near Thurmont and Myersville. Its streams cascade over hard, fractured rock in steep, boulder-filled ravines. Cunningham Falls, in the state park of the same name, is the best-known example and a popular summer destination thanks to a nearby lake, picnic areas and short trails to the falls. The Cascade is another named feature in the county. Catoctin's forests are especially attractive in autumn, and the area is close enough to Baltimore and Washington that warm weekends bring heavy visitation. Read the Maryland waterfall guide.
