Everything you need to know about Deep Creek Lake
More than 12 miles long, the Herrington Manor and Swallow Falls Trail is a sinuous out-and-back path that begins in Swallow Falls State Park before snaking into Garrett State Forest and ending at Herrington Manor State Park. Often following old logging roads and railroad grades with several hilly sections, the moderate trek takes most hikers a little more than four hours to complete. The walk is mostly shady since the pathway cuts through woodlands picturesquely punctuated with burbling creeks, though the best water feature is Swallow Falls, a majestic waterfall worth checking out before or after your walk. Keep an eye out for wildlife along the way, including white-tailed deer, turkeys, bobcats and black bears.
