Cat Rock Parking Lot

Pretty good hike UP to the Chimney Rock and Wolf Rock areas. Good balance is a must for walking, hopping around on the cliff areas. Dangerous and deep crevices abound on both named rock formations. It wouldn't hurt to pack some bug spray and spray your head. Bugs were only around certain parts of the trail, interestingly enough. Parking can be a little tricky if you get there at the 'wrong' time but I did see some folks get creative. Everyone on the trail seemed cordial enough to greet passersby. It's a short hike up to Chimney Rock but the views are very nice. Not such great views on the Wolf Rock, though. Mediocre at best.

Good hike. Lots of steep hills and rocks which makes the experience more fun! The view at chimney rock is awesome!

Absolutely amazing park!!! Beautiful walking. Clean. Friendly staff. Thank you.

Very interesting, a must see location and FREE. You can see two states, a few small towns and many farms in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

They finally paved this lot!! Great parking spot to avoid the rush at the visitor center. Convenient trailhead right off the parking lot and right across the street. I always park here to hike around Catoctin.

Great hike! All uphill and rocky but very manageable. Return trip is all downhill!

The Parking lots on both sides of the road are small, around a dozen car spaces or a little more on each side. No restrooms here.

Beautiful peaceful area. Some great trails.
