5 family friendly hikes to waterfalls
By Katie Riley
A family hike to a waterfall is bound to elicit a lot of excitement. On 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. To learn more about five hikes in Maryland where your family can experience the magic of a waterfall visit our story Five cool hikes to Maryland waterfalls
