Oakland Featured in Best Town for A Winter Getaway

This small town in Garrett County has less than 2,000 residents and hosts multiple state parks and lush natural surroundings, providing winter enthusiasts with endless opportunities. At Deep Creek Lake State Park, you can choose from hiking, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and ice skating to enjoy the over 1,000-acre park. Alternatively, you can slip into your snowshoes to explore the winter wonderland that is Swallow Falls State Park. When temperatures drop, and the snow begins to fall, the three frozen waterfalls inside the park prove to be a breathtaking scene for explorers. 

For more adventures in the town, Herrington Manor State Park boasts a chill environment with a 53-acre lake within Garrett State Forest. Meanwhile, Oakland has a rich railway heritage that you can learn about at the Oakland B & O Railroad Museum or the Garrett County Historical Museum. To ensure that you’re close to the action, you can stay at the Garrett Inn, which sits about 7 miles from Swallow Falls State Park.
