Here’s a selection of photos of Swallow Falls State Park including the Muddy Creek Falls. There are also many photos of the Hemlock Forest in the Forest For The Trees Gallery. If you would like to purchase any images for decor display or a web site, please call or contact us. We are happy to go over images in real time and help you choose or answer questions about size and framing.
Swallow Falls State Park is one of those areas where you can just keep going to again and again. Lighting and river levels are always changing and the contrast between summer and a good snowy day is incredible. For most long time visitors to the Deep Creek Lake area it’s a must see and location for a yearly pilgrimage. If you can manage to be there after a snowstorm and the next day dawns bright and sunny, you can get some amazing photos as the snow begins falling off the hemlock boughs. Early in the mornng is often a good time for the misty look of the forest and waterfalls.
I’m lucky in that I work as a guide at the park with All Earth Eco Tours and offer some guided tours and snowshoeing tours in the winter. Come join a tour sometime.
“There’s no better place to find yourself than sitting by a waterfall and listening to its music”

“You don’t have the power to make rainbows or waterfalls, sunsets or roses, but you do have the power to bless people by your words and smiles. You carry within you the power to make the world better.”

“There is a hidden message in every waterfall. It says, if you are flexible, falling will not hurt you.”

“It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.”
– Nicholas Sparks
“We are all naturally seekers of wonders. We travel far to see the majesty of old ruins, the venerable forms of the hoary mountains, great waterfalls, and galleries of art. And yet the world’s wonder is all around us; the wonder of setting suns, and evening stars, of the magic spring-time, the blossoming of the trees, the strange transformations of the moth.”
– Albert Pike
