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!

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.

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!
