Gambrill State Park, State park in Frederick County, Maryland, US
The 1,200-acre mountainous area features a network of multi-use trails through forests at elevations reaching 1,800 feet above the Monocacy Valley.
In 1934, the City of Frederick transferred this land to Maryland, naming it after James H. Gambrill Jr., a local conservation advocate.
The Civilian Conservation Corps workers constructed stone shelters and recreational facilities during the Great Depression, leaving a lasting architectural legacy.
The park maintains 31 family campsites, four wooden cabins, and 16 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding throughout the year.
The High Knob and Rock Run areas provide strategic observation points of the Catoctin Mountains, hosting various native wildlife including black bears.
