You'll find Herrington Manor State Park in the Oakland, Maryland area. It's often overshadowed by the other nearby parks, but it shouldn't be.

There are twenty log cabins onsite and they all include electricity, bathrooms with hot showers, and fully-equipped kitchens. Cabins range in size from fitting two guests, and up to six guests for the larger sizes.

Enjoy a cozy night's sleep, then wake to the sounds of nature as you sip coffee from the front porch.

Then, partake in a scenic hike. Herrington Manor State Park offers 12 miles of trails, including a 5.5-mile trek that connects to the nearby Swallow Falls State Park.

You'll also love spending time on the sandy beach and splashing around in Lake Herrington.

Or consider renting a paddleboat, canoe, or kayak and paddling along the water.

If you have little ones, they'll have fun on the playground, too!

If you're more into snowy adventures, visit during the winter season and snowshoe in this forested winter wonderland.
