A heartfelt thank you to all the Shepherd families who joined us at Cunningham Falls this past weekend! Together, we created unforgettable memories—hiking scenic trails, enjoying the beach, riding bikes and scooters, making s'mores, and connecting with one another. A special shout-out to KC Hauge for coordinating this year's event; your efforts made this gathering truly special for everyone involved!
We're excited to announce that we're already planning to recreate the wonderful experience at Cunningham Falls State Park next year! While the Elderberry Loop is fully booked for May 15–17, 2026, many sites are still available in the adjacent Deer Spring Loop. To reserve your spot, visit the Maryland Parks reservation website, select May 15-17, 2026, and filter by the "Western" region to find Deer Spring Loop sites. Don't wait—campsites can fill up quickly, so it's best to book early to secure your family's spot for this unforgettable weekend.
