 Located within
Garrett State Forest in Garrett County, Herrington Manor State Park's
development began in the 1930's with the aid of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
A 53-acre lake was formed by damming Herrington Creek, and ten cabins were
erected on a wooded knoll above the lake. Herrington Manor was designed as a
state park in 1964, and encompasses 365 acres. The park offers swimming, boating
in rowboats, canoes and paddle boats, picnicking, hiking, tennis, volleyball and
20 furnished log cabins for rental use year round. Interpretive programs are
scheduled during the summer; and popular special events such as maple syrup
demonstrations and apple butter making are held throughout the year. |
