## About Sang Run State Park

Step back in time at Sang Run State Park. A homestead, formerly known as Friends Delight, dates back to the early 1800’s. The original home site, farm and store were donated to Maryland in 2008 and designated as a State Park in 2017. Visit the Historic Friends Store and Election House and learn how people bought goods, and voted in the 1920s. Hike, fish, picnic or sit and relax along the Wild and Scenic Youghiogheny River . Hike the over 2.5 mile trail system at the park. The trails traverse pollinator meadows, pass large champion trees and a private family cemetery. During the summer and falls months nature programs such as hay rides, guided hikes, and Dutch oven demonstrations are held. The park has a waterless toilet facility in the Friends Store parking lot. Sang Run State Park is managed by the Deep Creek Lake State Park Complex.
