Cunningham Falls drops 78 ft (24 m) as a cascade waterfall in Maryland.
Cunningham Falls sits on Big Hunting Creek. You'll find it in Frederick, Maryland. It is protected within Maryland DNR (Cunningham Falls State Park).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Thurmont, the closest town.
When to go: Spring. Like most waterfalls, Cunningham Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
