Dan's Mountain State Park

Perched high upon a 16-mile long mountain in Lonaconing, Maryland, Dan's Mountain State Park is the perfect place to cool down on a hot summer day. The 481-acre park features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, four large group pavilions, a gigantic recycled-tire playground, and a peaceful pond for fishing. Nearby, Dan's Rock Overlook affords a panoramic view of the surrounding region from a height of 2,898 feet. This Olympic-sized swimming pool features a giant water slide! On chilly days, the pool is heated to maintain the perfect temperature. The pool is staffed by certified lifeguards and is fully accessible for persons with disabilities. A snack bar and modern restrooms are provided. The pool and water slide are open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Mondays. The pool is closed on Tuesdays. Pool hours are dependant on weather and other factors, so visitors are encouraged to call ahead to confirm hours. Private pool parties are available by reservation.
