We went hiking during the day time and covered a couple of trails, played board games in the evening and campfire at night. The trails were well marked. Appalachian Trail(AT marked in white) goes right through the park. There was a shelter. It was the cleanest and best shelter I have seen in a state park. Well maintained. The side trails are marked in blue.

You can reserve pavilions and they come by and help with trash. There is a dock where you can rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boats & row boats.

I recommend letting a senior drive so you can get in free, or drive with a Carroll county resident.

There is scarcely anything a…read morepark aught to feature that Renfrew does not boast--plentiful walking trails, a meandering creek, historic structures, a garden, visitor's center housing historic artifacts, wildlife, nature at its finest, a well-kept grove of trees, bridges, and soon, a replica gristmill based on a like structure that once graced the property. The park is something to behold at golden hour. Somehow it becomes impossible to capture a bad photo as every frame turns into an extraordinary and captivating vignette. Give Renfrew a visit. You won't regret it. Be aware that the bathrooms are only open when the visitor center is.

The park can be rented out for a number of things such as family get together a or even weddings! The park offers a picnic area with tables, grills, and bathrooms. If you are having a large group you can rent out the pavilion. There are plenty of walking trails and it is one of the few parks in the area you can bring your dog, but you need to register them with the park. There is a stream that kids are always playing in and is perfect to cool down on a hot summer day. Anyone who grew up in Waynesboro knows Renfrew Park and can provide you directions on how to get there.

Obviously visitors and park officials are doing their part to keep the place ship-shape. Brought my dog for a run; he met two other large-breed pups to romp with inside the multi-acre fenced space for large dogs. Small dogs have the adjacent fenced area. Hard to believe the dog park is free. It's downhill from the playground and pavilions, away from kids and picnickers. Beautiful views from the top of the hill where you enter the park and where the pavilions are. Playground looks awesome. We had a nice hike to the dog park area through mowed fields. I noticed paved walkways directly to the pavilions from the parking area. Perhaps an additional path could be put in, with dogpaw-shaped stepping stones or whatever, to guide dog owners to the top of the hill where the trail leads down to the dog runs. Because yes-- it is tricky if you don't know where to go. I appreciate the other Yelpers who gave clear directions on where to go with my dog, thanks! He had a great time here and we'll be back!

A bit of a mixed bag for me at Cunningham Falls…read more.. I was excited to find a listing of parks that supposedly had wheelchair accessible trails. I've never been to Cunningham Falls before and the idea of seeing a waterfall seemed lovely. However, the accessible boardwalk has strips on pretty much everything board which made me feel like I was riding a very angry horse. Each bump shot pain up my spine. I'm writing this a day later and I still hurt, and I think I'm a pretty tough chick... and the view of the falls was mostly blocked and not worth the actual pain. The Falls is more like a small stream of water that splashes down some rocks. It's a soothing noise but I was expecting something more grandiose... I suppose I could blame climate change. Most of the old stream beds are dry. We also checked out the "south beach" which I enjoyed. There's plenty of pavement, and packed gravel. I couldn't get close to the water, but that's okay because it was a sunny day and I prefer to stick to the shade. I was impressed by the fact that every picnic table has a grill nearby. If I lived closer I'd like to think I'd come to the south beach often, hide in the trees near the river, grill something delicious... but I was a several hours long trip from Dundalk, so it's unlikely that I'll return. It was a nice day-trip though. I don't regret going.
