In the winter: thirty-three ski slopes and countless miles of cross- country tracks. In the spring: forests
and meadows bursting into bloom as you hike or bike past. In the summer: the beach, festivals and long nights spent by the campfire. In the fall: spectacular foliage competing with the reds and pinks of a sunset over the water to create a spectacular natural display.
And let’s not forget Deep Creek Lake, a gorgeous body of water that invites you to swim, boat and fish. (Even in the cold season, you don’t have to miss out on lake fun — ice fishing is a popular winter pastime!)
So join us for all-season outdoor fun — you may never want to leave.
Spring
Spring is a wonderful time to witness the reawakening of nature as you wander Garrett County’s many hiking trails, which range
in difficulty level from “suitable for everyone” to those that only
a seasoned outdoor enthusiast should attempt.
If you’re not sure where to start, head to the Garrett Trails website (garretttrails.org) for an inventory of county trails. Trails are grouped into categories, including Town Trails (ideal for quick workouts and people with mobility restrictions), easy forest trails, fishing and boating trails, state park trails and more.
