Welcome
to our organization
The Friends of Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks, Inc. is a dedicated support group for both Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks.
​
Our members include local residents, business representatives, campers, and people like you - individuals who care deeply about these parks and want to play a role in protecting and enhancing their future. The parks rely on this strong base of volunteers to help maintain the high level of service that the community has come to expect.
​
Our mission is to generate the financial and volunteer support needed to supplement the parks’ budgets. Every dollar raised goes directly into improving the parks.
​
Your support can be seen in projects like the renovated Nature Center at the High Rock Scenic Area of Gambrill State Park, tree plantings, new safety gear, updated vehicles and gators, new rescue/patrol boats, motors and trailers and heavy equipment.
​
We also proudly support, and host cherished events such as the Annual Maple Syrup Festival, the Friends 10K, 5K, Race and Fun Run/Walk and Tea in the Tea Room.
