Western Maryland
Western Maryland is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts in every
season, with beautiful scenery, thousands of acres of parkland,
lakes for swimming, fly-fishing and boating, winter skiing and
white-water rafting. Visitors can climb the state's highest
mountain, hike part of the famous Appalachian Trail, or cycle or
hike along the popular Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which once served
as a towpath for mule-drawn barges between Washington DC and
Cumberland. The state's largest freshwater lake, Deep Creek Lake,
is the hub of outdoor recreation in Garrett County, with a variety
of watersports, golf and skiing.
Apart from outdoor recreation and fantastic scenery, there are a
number of quaint small towns, including Cumberland, Frostville, and
Lavale, that offer restaurants, antique shops and bookstores in
addition to the charming atmospheres. The haunting plaques of the
Civil War battlefield at Antietam are another popular Western
Maryland attraction, and a must-see for Civil War history
buffs.
