Way Back When and Even Now: Hog Rock Trail continued
Oct. 11, 2019
on and off the trail
- Catoctin Mountain Park lies within the area known as the Blue Ridge Province
- in the 18th and 19th centuries the land was heavily logged to support local agriculture practices and to produce charcoal for the nearby iron works furnace
- in 1933, the land was set aside as “Catoctin Recreation Demonstation Area”, the purpose was to rehabilitate sub-marginal farmland
- in 1954, the land was divided with half becoming Cunningham Falls State Park and the other half Catoctin Mountain Park
- there are 18 wetland areas in the park, covering nearly 143 acres
- contains over 25 miles of hiking through the mountains of upper Maryland, a park which honors Franklin D. Roosevelt’s legacy in the U.S.
