Gathland State Park — photo spot in 900 Arnoldtown Rd, Jefferson, MD 21755, USA
Gathland State Park
Photograph the War Correspondents' Memorial Arch, rolling ridgelines and Appalachian Trail viewpoints. The stone arch offers dramatic architectural detail against valley panoramas; trails and seasonal foliage (peak autumn) add variety. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side light and long shadows; clear nights for stars. Small parking area near the monument, no gate fees—arrive on weekdays or early mornings to avoid visitors. Respect the memorial and stay on marked trails.
