Wills Mountain State Park, State park in Cumberland, Maryland.
Wills Mountain State Park extends across 470 acres of natural terrain on the northwest border of Cumberland, overlooking the Cumberland Narrows in Allegany County.
The mountain featured the Wills Mountain Inn from 1899 to 1930, a 46-bedroom mansion with private baths and a grand ballroom serving as a fraternal clubhouse.
The Maryland State Planning Commission recognized the mountain's potential in 1952, proposing the creation of a historic preserve for public recreation.
The park remains undeveloped without formal facilities or designated parking areas, yet visitors can access the grounds throughout the day for nature observation.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources continues expanding the park through land acquisitions, with a recent 48-acre purchase in 2024 to increase accessibility.
