Your Pass to the Outdoors Open up to the outdoors side of Maryland. Whitewater Rafting Sure, there’s nothing like a relaxing day at the beach in iconic Ocean City. But Maryland also has a wild side when it comes to the great outdoors. The Old Line State is the perfect backdrop for an outdoor adventure—whether you choose to hike up, dive in, cast a line, or bike through any of our amazing landscapes. Lace up your sneakers, strap your boots to your board, grab a paddle, and get ready for some high-energy exploration. 46 / VISIT MARYLAND ON THE WATER Challenge yourself on a white-water rafting adventure at Adventure Sports Center International or kayak the day away near Janes Island or Assateague Island—both of which offer campsites for you to rest up after a day of adventure. Paddlers also love to explore Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge or the Mallows Bay National Marine Sanctuary, which features the irresistibly eerie “Ghost Fleet”—with more than 200 shipwrecks, it’s the largest ghost fleet in the hemisphere. If you’d like someone else to do the sailing, head to the Chesapeake Bay for an unforgettable tour with a waterman or a traditional crabbing adventure. For more on-the-water adventures, there’s no better place than Deep Creek Lake. Covering a massive 3,900 acres and offering 65 miles of shoreline, Deep Creek Lake is the place to go for fishing, boating, and pretty much every other aquatic pursuit.
