If you love skiing this resort is for you in the winter time. Plenty of trails and not long chair lift lines. I enjoy spending my winter weekends here. Skiing and go in for a beer and food in the afternoon and spending the evenings back out on the slopes. In the summer you can spend your day on the full golf course. This resort is definitely a four season resort. There is always something to do!

Enjoy some hiking trails or just relax the day away at the park beach, where you can take a swim or grill some food at the picnic areas. If you have a boat there is a boat launch ramp you can use for just $10 dollars or use your Maryland state park pass, if you own one. We visit the park at least twice a week to walk around and let our dog take a swim. I think you will love the park as much as we do.

If you are feeling adventurous and are with a group you can go whitewater rafting. Or go and watch other people enjoying this adventure park. They even practice kayaking here. I love spending the midafternoon, early evening here watching groups experience whitewater rafting.

The river runs right near the house. In the summer it is busy with kayakers, tubers and fly fishermen. Short walk down the road to the river.

Great pizza and Italian food with a good view of the lake. Our favorites are Baked ziti and Chicken Picatta. Portion sizes are big enough for 2. If you are in the mood for pizza you can't go wrong. In our option it is the best pizza in town.
