Passes required on weekends, holidays
throughout the summer
Parking passes for Kilgore
Falls are now available on YourPassNow. An attraction in the
Falling Branch area of Rocks State Park, Kilgore Falls is a 17-foot
high waterfall and Maryland's second highest vertical drop
waterfall. This non-developed, environmentally sensitive area has a
serene hiking trail leading back to the waterfall.
This area is popular with
visitors and visitation is limited to preserve this special place.
Parking passes are required for weekend and holiday visits from now
until Labor Day and those with passes are guaranteed parking.
Weekday visits do not require a pass. All passes are available to
the public at no cost.
Parking passes become
available for reservation on the Monday prior to the desired visit.
Visitors may reserve a half-day time slot. Morning visitors must
leave by 1 p.m. while afternoon visitors may not arrive until 2
p.m.
The Maryland Department of
Natural Resources introduced a pilot parking pass system last
summer with the goal of decreasing traffic congestion and
protecting the environmentally sensitive area.
Rocks State Park grounds are
open every day from sunrise to sunset from March to
October.

Falling Branch area of Rocks State Park, visit the Maryland Park
Service’s website. To make a reservation, visit
