The Rock Maze Trail in Garrett State Forest is an unexpected adventure if you are looking for something a little different to do.

Huge towering boulders seem to be arbitrarily plopped in the middle of the forest. However, their crevices and intermingling pathways create a fun natural maze filled with plants growing in places you would least expect.

You can tell the rocks have been around for awhile. The trees growing on the rocks create an eerie enchanted forest vibe. This rock maze is like a “living museum” filled with interesting “nature” as artwork. It is amazing to see how the tree roots have enveloped the rocks. Whether the trees are holding the rocks captive…or they have grafted the rocks to be a part of their family…the environment at the Rock Maze is intriguing.

The trail from the limited parking lot to the Rock Maze is just shy of 1/2 mile. So, that is almost a 1-mile round trip out and back. It’s considered a relatively easy trail.

Very beautiful! The camp grounds are very nice. Very spaced out. They have a wood counter and pole to hang a lantern and put a grill, a picnic table and fire pit. I don't know if they have Electricity & water hook ups. I got no cell phone service so bring a map if you're not familiar with the area. Pictures were taken in a part of the park you can't access unless you know someone who lives in that area of the park. Beautiful senary!

Nice half mile trail through the forest with lots of large ferns. At the end of the trail is an amazing maze of large boulders all close together with narrow passages between them. We were the only ones there at the moment along with our dog. We actually had a slightly difficult time trying to find our way back out of the rock maze and back to the trail. I recommend seeing it for a short 1 hour or so visit if you are in the area. Be careful not to get lost!

7/10/2024. We only went here for the rock maze trail. So this is the only thing I'm reviewing. First, it's not a maze. There are some neat rocks to climb on and walk around. We were there less than 30 minutes. We were all a bit disappointed. The trail is a short walk. And not much parking.

Snaggy Mountain Road Rock Maze (Closed Fall 2019) - Bring the kids, a water bottle and the ability to squeeze between big boulders as you explore the hidden gem of Garrett County, the Rock Maze. Located just off of Cranesville Road on Snaggy Mountain road, park at the sign and follow the path for about 1/4 mile through the lush ferns. Keep going and before you know it you will be presented with what appears to be a large boulder, cracked apart by water, temperature and time. The path is level and easy but there are some roots. Once at the rocks, walk around, through or for the able, on the maze of boulder fragments. Tree roots and ferns have taken hold. Some passages are tight, some require sure footing, but you can explore without getting dirty or acrobatic as well.
