Kilgore Falls, Waterfall in Rocks State Park, Maryland
The 17-foot vertical cascade of Kilgore Falls flows through dense woodlands, creating white water patterns as it descends into the natural pool below.
The waterfall and surrounding lands within Rocks State Park were established as a protected natural area in the Maryland park system to maintain ecological diversity.
The waterfall gained national recognition after its appearance in the 2002 film adaptation of Natalie Babbitt's novel Tuck Everlasting.
From May through Labor Day, visitors need advance reservations for weekend access, and reaching the falls requires a half-mile walk on marked trails.
The second-highest vertical drop waterfall in Maryland forms an natural swimming area during summer months, surrounded by exposed rock formations.
