Outdoor adventure abounds in Garrett County, and one of the most popular destinations for visitors is Deep Creek Lake State Park. Home to Maryland’s largest freshwater lake and encompassing 3,500 acres with a whopping 65 miles of shoreline, it’s a wonderful place to spend time bonding with family and friends in the great outdoors. Rent canoes, kayaks, or boats to explore the vast lake, or cool off with a nice swim. This is also a popular lake for fishing and even becomes an ice fishing destination during the winter months. Guests can also take advantage of Garrett County’s many outdoor group-friendly activities, including horseback riding at establishments like Circle R Ranch, which is one of Garrett County’s family-friendly ranches, hiking and biking, whitewater rafting, skiing and snowboarding.

Oakland’s historic downtown offers a host of fascinating museums dedicated to railroad, transportation and history, and there are shopping and dining options for everyone’s tastes along with a seasonal farmer’s market.
