- Deep Creek Lake State Park: For a day of hiking, just head about 20 minutes from our Inn to this Maryland State Park. There are 9 maintained hiking trails ranging in difficulty from super easy to expert level. The most popular trail is Beckmans Trail, which takes you past the historic Brant Coal Mine.
- Swallow Falls State Park: A must at this Maryland State Park is Muddy Creek Falls. This 53-foot waterfall is a sight to see! If the weather cooperates, guests often wade into the water here, getting a super up-close look at the falls. For those who prefer to not get wet, there are plenty of dry viewing options too.
- Herrington Manor State Park: Not that you’ll want to leave the beauty of our Deep Creek Lake, but if you feel like swimming or canoeing elsewhere, Herrington Lake is a pretty spot for spending the afternoon on the water.
- Casselman River Bridge State Park: For an Instagram worthy photo, check out this 1813 single-span stone arch bridge in Grantsville, Maryland. The 80 feet of bridge is now only open to pedestrians and it’s a popular picnic spot with a gorgeous backdrop.
- New Germany State Park: If you really want to disconnect for a day, head to this Maryland State Park, and when we say “diconnect” we mean there’s zero cell service here, so you’ll really be off map. There are 10-miles of multi use trails and a small lake for swimming.
- Potomac-Garrett State Forest: The 19,000 acres of this forest is made up of a diverse mix of trees, from oaks and maples to ash and birch, you’ll be amazed by the quality of these woods. Trails are mountain biking friendly here and a favorite hike is the Rock Maze Trail, where you navigate through tall boulders of all sizes.
