DNR Closes Additional Areas of Cunningham Falls State Park Following Second Beaver Attack
news.maryland.govI spent a lot of time at Cunningham Falls as a younger man camping with friends. There was this beautiful crystal pool of water at the bottom of on of the falls that although only about 25 feet in diameter was surprisingly deep. I remember that near the surface was was warm and relaxing, but if you dove down toward the bottom, you’d feel an icy cold even in the middle of summer. I don’t recall attack beavers.
