On bike or on foot, this trail will offer you life memories that you will cherish! A MUST SEE when visiting our County!

Wonderful gravel and dirt trails for hiking and biking. Multiple stream crossings, rock maze that astounds, and awesome outdoor exploration opportunity centrally located between Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor State Park. Great biking and designated ATV trails (with permit). The rock maze is hidden - look for a small trail just inside the gate, to the right. Good luck and have fun! You will get dirty and wet - if you are doing it right!

Many miles of hiking, biking, and cross country skiing to give you endless outdoor exploration. Maryland's largest State Forest, Savage River State Forest surrounds this park, offering a small swimming, fishing, and boating lake. Picnic tables, bathrooms, and grills waiting for you to spread out the tablecloth and enjoy a good old fashioned picnic! Often the Forest Rangers are offering fun, short classes to help you learn about and enjoy the outdoors!

Food Scene

Wonderful Pizza's (Pie's) with a true New York touch. Proprietor, Brenda, does an amazing job of using only the freshest ingredients and, man alive, does the flavor come through! My wife and I prefer the Cheesie Louisie but the others are very worthy dinners also. WARNING - don't get the monstrous Abbondaza (26") unless you have an army of mouths to feed! Great sweeping lakeviews from the dining area. Park in back - better parking... In fact, my wife and I are going there with friends tonight! 20 minutes away

With the new ownership a couple of years ago, they have hit a HOME RUN!!! Great ingredients, decent seating, very good waitstaff. Nice outdoor patio available. Walking distance to all downtown Oakland attractions, including the Little Yough River and lovely walking trail. Great wine selection and fair pricing. We prefer the white cheese pizza with extra garlic and we select our vino from their large selection.

Garrett County's eclectic spot! Live music, crazy, interesting setting, craft brews and a simple, fun place to visit. Awesome Firefly Farm cheese and wine shop directly across the street. Located in town of Accident, MD (interesting story with the town hame - easy to Google), this is a fun & tasty destination! My wife and I have many times grabbed a specialty cheese cut to our size at the Firefly Farm! Great gift ideas there too!

The setting alone is worth the dining experience! Serving Lunch and Dinner in a lovely, restored Victorian, this is a dining experience that you will always remember! My wife and I live close enough to walk here - that was part of our purchase decision! Even the bathrooms will leave an impression; of course the food is wonderful as well! This is a true hidden gem! No formal wear required anywhere in Garrett County!

An Amish bakery specializing in a large array of delicious home baked desserts and candies, deli meats and natural cheeses, as well as some crafts, such as hand loomed woven rugs and Amish dolls. Awesome pastoral setting! A wide variety of everything - all made from scratch. Their Amish team is eager to assist you, and may put on 2 lbs by simply smelling the delicious aromas of their fresh baked goods (particularly their homemade glazed donuts - you will NEVER be the same again!)

While the setting is average at best, the food is beyond unbelievable! 2 of the top area chefs' Don Champion and Jacques (he is VERY well known in our area!) have partnered up to create an incredible, simply menu loaded with flavors! Don also catered our daughter's wedding and I couldn't be more happy with a caterer's touch! Dinner at this restaurant will be memory making!

Sightseeing

Maryland's highest point is accessed by a trailhead and short, intense hike. Located about 30 minutes South of the resort area, resting on the boulders and taking in the scenery to the North is a sight to behold. You will be so high the hawks will be soaring beneath you - quite a sight! Small pull off area on the right of RT 219 and trailhead on your left. Hike is pretty steep in areas but not terribly long. When you have conquered this mountaintop, signed the register found in the mailbox at the top, and safely descended, continue South on RT 219 for another 15 minutes and you will find yourself in the fun, small town of Thomas, WV. Grab grub at the Purple Fiddle on Main Street!

Located just South of Oakland, along RT 219, am 8 mile drive through this valley is sure to impress! Find yourself immersed in Amish Country and surrounded by large, working farms showcasing rolling meadows, meandering livestock and horse & carriage travel. Grab a soft serve at the outdoor Ice Cream Stand ("Saffitickers"), homemade Amish pastries at Sugar & Spice, and some fresh eggs or produce at the assorted outdoor stands. A country treat for the cost of a short drive from the Resort area!
