    It was a rather rainy day on our vacation and I had seen a sign for the Discovery center so we…read moredecided to check it out. We have 6 children with us from 2-10 years old and they all had a good time. There was a lot of different things to check out. I especially liked the microscope and the slides you could choose from and also the different stages of a frog and turtle growing. My kids had a good time just looking at all the animals (real and stuffed). My boys love turtles so that was fun! We also walked over to their aviary area and that was also a good time. There were more things to do there that we would like to come back when it isn't raining. Also, it's free! Yes they have boxes out for donations but it's not an individual fee for everyone which is always a bonus with the kids. I highly recommend stopping here if you are looking for something different to do.

    We visited the discovery center today because we thought it would be a good rainy day activity. To…read moreour surprise it was really awesome and free! There were some live animals on their first floor including snakes, salamanders and turtles. Their basement level had kids activities to play with including puzzles, furs to touch, fossils to look at and place in sand. On the other end they have a small aviary with about 6 birds to look at. That part is outside. It also looked like their was a playground, so should it not be raining it would be great to go to. Definitely recommend for little ones to visit if you are passing through.

    Located near the famous Swallow Falls, Herrington Manor is a state park in Maryland and a popular…read morehiking spot for people from Deep Creek Lake. We've never been here in other seasons; we came out on a windy, snowy and cold January weekend in 2024 to cross-country ski! The good: friendly staff (who was new and not knowledgeable though); they rent ski equipment in the lake house (we didn't go down there as we have our own skis); free. They do have some trails groomed, nice and well done given that they don't seem to be well staffed. They even offer cabins for people to stay in. The bad: Not as scenic and well organized as cross-country skiing at the New Germany State Park (about 30 minutes from here). We tried both places and prefer skiing at New Germany. Trails are not maintained at Herrington Manor so it's a bit tough to try to ski (so many branches, etc). Trails aren't well marked either, and that map is quite useless. So it took us quite a bit of time to figure everything out and trying GPS on our phone.

    This is a neat park and little beach to go swimming if you're in Garrett County. Parking is…read moreavailable, the lake water is good, there are picnic tables, changing facility, and even a little shade. Although I'd probably not go there if it was a busy holiday weekend and packed crowded, any other time is great. I've never rented one of the cabins, but I've heard people seem to enjoy them.
