The setting for this park is the Susquehanna River Valley with its varying topography, heavy forest cover, massive rock outcrops and interesting history. A 19th century farm is the site for the Steppingstone Museum, operated by a private museum foundation. In addition to camping, the park offers camper cabins. This mountain park contains some of Maryland's most breathtaking scenery. The Youghiogheny River flows along the park's borders, passing through shaded rocky gorges and creating rippling rapids.
Tall hemlocks dominate the silent woods.
Tuckahoe Creek, a quiet country stream bordered for most of it's length by wooded marshlands, runs through the length of the park. A 60-acre lake offers boating and great fishing opportunities, Tuckahoe offers 35 quiet, secluded campsites, a youth group camping area, and camper cabins. Pets are permitted in the campground, canoes are available for rent.
