Three connecting unpaved roads near the Little Gunpowder Falls near Fallston, MD.
Dirt #17 Guyton
Dirt #18 Bottom
Dirt #19 Laurel
Legend says that Gunpowder got its name as early as 1600 when Native Americans attempted to plant gunpowder with the hopes that it would produce a crop. Probably due to the saltpeter discovered along its banks. Saltpeter is an ingredient in gunpowder. The more plausible story is that prior to the Revolutionary War, a man named Winter had a mill on the river where he made gunpowder by grinding the coals of burnt willow branches.
Even though the name may suggest it, there are NO WATERFALLS IN THE PARK.
