Gather Amazing Popular Maryland Vacation Spots and Tourist Attractions

How do you begin planning for a Maryland vacation getaway? Let’s go exploring. Visit Deer Creek Lake to try a variety of water activities in Maryland:
• Hiring a catamaran canoe, sail boat or watercraft to relax on the water and take in the sunshine
• Go swimming in the ocean; it is rejuvenating. There is nothing like the open ocean.
• Take a water taxi – enjoy the waterways. Discover quaint and exotic locations and tell your friends.
• Get on a paddleboat or surf craft (body board or boogie board) and swim past the breakers.
• Put on your dive gear or snorkel and dive on sunken shipwrecks
• Throw a stick to your best canine friend and enjoy the many hours of fun in the surf.

Don’t like to get wet? Try these dry activities. Visit Catoctin Mountain Park or Assateague State Park for sandy beaches and a wild horse colony and a nature preserve for hiking, biking and more. Hit the trails and discover the wide open spaces or the hinterland. Maryland is excellent for RV tourists, campers, hikers and trail lovers.

Maryland has some amazing mountains. Here is a list you will enjoy:
By mountain range:
• Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians
• Garrett County
• Allegany County
• Washington County
• Bear Pond Mountains
• Blue Ridge Mountains
• South Mountain

To learn more about Maryland’s history, be sure to stop by the town of Hagerstown. This city is the site of the American Revolutionary War and the crossroads of the Civil War. It is home to South Mountain State Battlefield, Antietam National Battlefield, and the July 1863 Battle of Hagerstown. This entire county also has a rich cultural scene. Hagerstown’s Arts & Entertainment District is the sight of the Maryland Theatre, offering events and performances year-round, including many Maryland Symphony Orchestra concerts. Hagerstown is also home to the Western Maryland Blues Fest. In Washington County, the Museum of Fine Arts boasts an exquisite permanent collection with a host of exhibitions, concerts, lectures, films, and special events for all ages as well. Maryland has hundreds of museums and galleries of all shapes and sizes. Some are theme specific for the civil war for examples, while others are traditional gallery based cultural centers. This is the joy of discovery.
