Scenic waterfall from the Orange Grove section of Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland.

Photography Tips

Tripod and neutral density filter definitely help for achieving that silky long exposure effect.

Travel Information

Patapsco Valley State Park can be reached by car, although there are several entry points which are not all connected. This waterfall in particular is located at the Avalon/Glen Artney/Orange Grove Area of Patapsco Valley, closest to the Orange Grove car park. There you will see a suspension bridge, do not cross it to reach the falls which are on the same side as the car park. A little bit of an elevation gain in hiking to Cascade Falls, but it is a short distance from the car park (maybe 10-20 mins as a conservative estimate).
