Page 6 - Garrett County 2021-2022 Visitors Guide

Welcome to . . .
W e’re living in stressful times, and what you need is an escape. A place where the worries of everyday life recede, and your senses
fill with the beauty of the outdoors.
While Garrett County is less than three hours from Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh, our rural location makes it easy to steer clear of big crowds.
Miss that human connection? You can find it (safely and socially distant) in our small, friendly towns. So rent a house with a lake view, breathe in our clear mountain air, and forget about your troubles for a few days or weeks.
The appeal of Deep Creek Lake and its surroundings is undiminished year-round. We’re famous for our colorful fall foliage, snowy mountains, the clear waters of our lakes and rivers, and our fun attractions for families and kids. Don’t forget about the beach and water sports that make for a perfect summer getaway.
Deep Creek Lake is the largest inland body of freshwater in the state of Maryland and one of the region’s most scenic recreational spots. Enjoy great events and celebrations throughout the county, such as the annual Autumn Glory Festival and the July 4th Fire on the Mountain fireworks display. Be dazzled by vivid splashes of fall color. Then, at day’s end, witness a stirring sunset over the mountains.
Along with Deep Creek Lake, Garrett’s agricultural heritage is another important draw for visitors. In addition to a seasonal corn maze and farmers markets, the county has a popular Barn Quilt Trail. The number of quilts has expanded since the trail’s inception and is still growing.
Garrett County is a popular choice for a variety of special occasions. Our local vendors are happy to work with you to make your wedding, corporate retreat or family reunion a safe experience for everyone.
Finally, Wisp Resort in McHenry is Maryland’s only ski resort. It offers 33 slopes for skiing and snowboarding, and a snow tubing park.
