The park features trees of up to 90 feet in height and 16 feet in circumference.[4] Located on {{convert|132|acre}}[2] about one mile (1.6 km) east of the town of Aurora and five miles west of Redhouse, Maryland, Cathedral is a mixed forest of predominantly eastern hemlock.[4] Rhine Creek runs through the park.[4] The National Park Service has designated the park as a National Natural Landmark in 1965.[5] The park is under significant threat from the hemlock woolly adelgid, which has been detected within {{convert|20|mi|km}} of the park.[6] HistoryMr Branson Haas, a workman for the Brookside hotel, purchased the land in 1922 and sold it to the state of West Virginia in 1942.[7] It was included in the Brookside Historic District.[8] The park was entered in the National Registry for Natural History Landmarks on October 6, 1966.[7] The Society of American Foresters recognized the park in 1983 in its National Natural Areas program.[7] In 2004, the state's largest hemlock tree was felled by lightning.[7] In October 2012, the park suffered extensive damage resulting from snowfall produced by Hurricane Sandy.[5] Trails
