Garrett County, MD

Located in the heart of Maryland’s most breathtaking scenery, Garrett County is dotted with charming small towns, peaceful lakes and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for a reunion

Outdoor adventure abounds in Garrett County, and one of the most popular destinations for visitors is Deep Creek Lake State Park. Home to Maryland’s largest freshwater lake and encompassing 3,500 acres with a whopping 65 miles of shoreline, it’s a wonderful place to spend time bonding with family and friends. Rent canoes, kayaks, or boats to explore the vast lake, or cool off with a nice swim. Guests can also take advantage of Garrett County’s many outdoor group-friendly activities, including horseback riding at establishments like Circle R Ranch, which is Deep Creek Lake’s family-friendly ranch, hiking and biking, whitewater rafting, skiing and snowboarding.

Garrett County’s quaint small towns are the ideal place for reunion guests to gather. Oakland’s historic downtown offers a host of cool museums dedicated to railroad, transportation and history, and there are shopping and dining options for everyone’s tastes along with a seasonal farmer’s market.

Close, Yet Secluded

Just up the highway lies the small town of Accident , where reunion groups can visit the Rolling Pin Bakery for freshly baked treats, deli meats and cheeses along with sandwiches and beverages. Head to FireFly Farms to sample some award-winning goat cheese.

Grantsville is located on the historic National Road in the northern end of Garrett County. Go back in time at the Casselman Inn that once catered to travelers along the National Road and to this day, serves as a homely restaurant and inn. Visitors can also check out the popular Spruce Forest Artisan Village , where historic cabins serve as studios for local artists to display their crafts. Top it off with a visit to High County Creamery and Market for some delectable cheese, ice cream, or a full farm-to-table meal that everyone is sure to love.
