Our Favorite Scenic Drives in Maryland
The Maryland fall foliage is celebrated in this area, so much so that we hold an annual event: the Autumn Glory Festival, bringing people together over turkey dinners, live music, and harvest activities. Part of the itinerary for this event is to encourage guests to take scenic drives in Maryland to take in the fall foliage.
Here are our favorite destinations for scenic drives in Maryland during your stay:
- Fallingwater House: One of the most iconic landmarks in the country is Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater House, an architectural marvel designed in the classic mid-century modern style, located just about an hour from our Inn. You’ll head north to the charming town of Friendsville and continue onto the PA-381—one of the most scenic drives in Maryland.
- Swallow Falls State Park: Fall is a beautiful time of year to visit this state park, known for having the largest free-falling waterfall in Maryland. The quick scenic route is about 20 minutes from our Inn for stunning fall colors, Muddy Creek Falls, and hiking trails.
- Spruce Forest Artisan Village and Amish Country in Springs, PA: On this scenic drive in Maryland, you’ll likely spot an old-fashioned horse and buggy along the way as you enter Amish territory. You’ll find lovely markets for local wares and crafts, and if you continue north to the Spruce Forest Artisan Village, be sure to allot a bit of time to explore this artist’s community.
- Casselman River Bridge State Park: For one of the most stunning scenic drives in Maryland through the forested countryside, head to this beautiful state park and picnic area, known for the 1813 bridge structure —a national historic landmark and a very Instagram-worthy photo opportunity, especially when the fall colors pop.
