Deep Creek Lake State Park itself is a popular destination, especially as it’s the largest state park in Maryland, but there are plenty of other wonderful hiking trails to consider, both on and off the beaten path. Here are our 8 favorite hiking trails for you to consider when you visit our Deep Creek Lake Bed and Breakfast this fall:
- Deep Creek Lake State Park is a top hiking destination in the state of Maryland, and for good reason. Yes, it’s the largest of the state parks. It also happens to offer some extraordinary views of the Deep Creek Lake area, especially when it’s lit up for fall. Popular hiking trails in the park include Beckman’s Trail, the Meadow Mountain Trail, and the Indian Turnip Trail.
- Try the Lostland Run Trail in the Potomac-Garrett State Park. It’s a seven-mile trip and will take you alongside a babbling brook to Cascade Falls, and to the top where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the river and mountain from the Potomac Overlook.
- Follow the Swallow Falls State Park Canyon Trail along the Youghiogheny River all the way to Muddy Creek Falls and onto Swallow Falls. The fall foliage here is beautiful. There’s also a path that leads to Tolliver Falls if you’re looking to make your adventure a little longer.
- Extend your trip from Swallow Falls State Park to Herrington Manor State Park. There’s a 5-mile hiking trail that connects the two and travels through the scenic Garrett State Forest.
- For a truly simple adventure when you stay at our Deep Creek Lake Bed and Breakfast, head across the street to Wisp Resort. There are 8-miles of trails to explore at Wisp Resort during the fall, each of which offers stunning views of the lake below. There are also guided hikes available at the resort.
- The Green Trail at New Germany State Park is well worth the trip and is a great choice for novice hikers. They even offer guided hikes with a park naturalist, and there are other hiking trails in the park if you want to add to your experience.
- If you’re looking for nature in its purest form without all of the foot traffic you’ll find at places like Deep Creek Lake State Park or Swallow Falls State Park, head to Savage River State Forest. The fall colors will absolutely delight, and it’s hard to beat the serenity you’ll find in this off the beaten path gem.
- Another lesser-known hiking area near Deep Creek Lake is the Fork Run Recreation Area. The beautifully wooded trails are gorgeous during the fall months.
