We hiked here with our little person. Trails were great! Very well kept. We wandered down to the water front and found a secluded spot to hang out! Will definitely go back!

Herrington Manor State Park

Reviewed By LOwen1949

We bring our grandkids to Harrington Manor every year. The park is well maintained by the state. Youngest enjoy the small sand beach. Older kids like to canoe and fish for pike in the lake. Lake is shallow so not much for serious fishing but kids enjoy it. We’ve rented a cabin a couple times. They’re a bit rustic but they’re great alternative to tent camping with kids. Close to Swallow Falls, rafting on the Youghioheny River and all of the Deep Creek Lake activities. Great trails for hiking and cross country skiing in winter. Equipment rentals are available and inexpensive.
