Gathland Trail Start — photo spot in 1005-1037 Arnoldtown Rd, Jefferson, MD 21755, USA
Gathland Trail Start
Trailhead for Gathland State Park and the Appalachian Trail featuring the stone War Correspondents' Memorial Arch, wooded ridgeline paths, stone walls and valley vistas—excellent for moody forest scenes, historical architecture and sweeping landscape shots. Best at golden hour and during fall foliage; sunrise for valley mist and sunset for warm light on the arch. Free entry and small parking lot at the trail start; trails are moderate (some rocky/uneven sections)—wear hiking shoes. Weekday early
