OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Appalachian Trail

Timeless Traveling

The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad is stunning year-round, but the really hot ticket comes when the fall foliage bursts with color along the route. The historic steam engine runs from Cumberland to Frostburg, a perfect day trip for train-obsessed kids (and adults), or nature lovers of any age. Engineers and conductors are happy to share their knowledge of this cherished old train. The scenic railroad recently added dining cars to the line, perfect for relaxing and rolling through the stunning landscape.

Youghiogheny River Rafting

The Youghiogheny (pronounced yawk-a-GAINee) River, cutting through the far northwest corner of the state, is Maryland’s only Class IV and V white-water rafting river. Part of the “Yough” was designated a scenic and wild river, preserving the corridor around it in its natural state. Some parts, such as the stretch leading to Friendsville, could require an experienced river hand to show the way; several area guide companies lead excursions.

8 Shoot the Rapids at Adventure Sports Center International

Adventure Sports Center International sits at the top of Wisp Mountain, a 1,700-foot-long whitewater course built to host Olympic events.

The center also offers hiking and climbing, if you want to enjoy the land side.

9 Walk the Crossroads of History at Antietam National Battlefield

Come witness the rolling hills, idyllic streams and bucolic forests, which give no sign of the blood that was shed on the single deadliest day of fighting in American history.

10 Hike the Eastern Continental Divide

This rugged seam formed where North America’s continental plates are pulling apart, making for some of the most intriguing geology and challenging hiking around. With beautiful views of the Savage River Forest, Big Savage Mountain, Meadow Mountain and New Germany Lake in New Germany State Park, hiking the Eastern Continental Divide in Garrett County is a must for everyone.

11 Tour the Antietam Highlands Wine Trail

Meandering through the rolling hills and mountains of Western Maryland, crisscrossing five national parks, ten state parks, and one of the most important fronts of the Civil War, the Antietam Highlands Wine Trail is home to five of Maryland’s premiere wineries.

12 See Beautiful Fall Foliage at the Autumn Glory Festival

Each fall the forests of Western Maryland produce a mindboggling array of color, and a single visit may not be enough to capture the season’s splendor, but if you can only make one trip, come during Oakland’s annual Autumn Glory Festival. The five-day festival, celebrating 50 years in 2017, offers foliage tours, parades, music, dance competitions, art exhibits, local crafts and even a car show.

15 Camp Out at Green Ridge State Forest

To really get away from it all, head out to a primitive campsite in Maryland’s largest public park. The 47,560-acre forest allows hunting, fishing, biking and hiking, as well as paddling along the Potomac River.

16 Make a Stop Along the National Road

Book a stay at the idyllic Casselman Inn, a historic B&B just a short stroll from the Spruce Forest Artisan Village. Cozy up at the Old South Mountain Inn, a traveler’s favorite since 1732. Or make a brief detour to the Savage River Lodge; the classic cabins, yurts, and the elegant lodge are worth the trip.


Living The Lake Life

By Chris Landers

Deep Creek has year-round activities for the whole family. Boating, swimming and fishing are all on the itinerary for the warmer months, while ice-fishing and dog sledding round out the winter months. Nearby Wisp Resort offers ski trails and snowboarding terrain parks, plus a mountain coaster, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing—and shopping and dining for those not inclined to schuss down a mountain. The resort’s hotel offers upscale accommodations, and there are many other options from camping and cabins to lodges and vacation homes. For a unique, eco-friendly vacation, Blue Moon Rising rents an assortment of small cabins at its site on the lake, built and managed with an eye to sustainable practices, as well as community buildings for group get-togethers.
