Rocks State Park, State park with geological formations in Harford County, US.
The 855-acre park contains rocky cliffs, forests, and hiking trails along Deer Creek, with a 190-foot rock outcrop called King and Queen Seat.
Maryland Department of Natural Resources established this conservation area in 1949, initially naming it Deer Creek State Park before changing to Rocks State Park.
The King and Queen Seat formation appears in Thomas Wysong's 1880 book The Rocks of Deer Creek, documenting local stories and regional history.
Visitors access three separate sections of the park, including the main area on Rocks Ridge, Falling Branch with Kilgore Falls, and Hidden Valley.
Kilgore Falls, located in the Falling Branch section, stands as the second-highest waterfall in Maryland, dropping through a forested natural setting.
