About Dans Mountain State Park

Managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, this 482-acre park sits on Dans Mountain, a ridge stretching 16 miles long. The park occupies only a small stretch of that long mountain formation, giving visitors a defined piece of a much larger landform to explore.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
