Hiking in Cumberland, Deep Creek Lake Park for fishing and swimming
Dan's Mountain Wildlife Management Area is a massive park located west of Cresaptown, featuring the largest contiguous state-owned forest in Maryland. It's a popular spot for birdwatching, hunting white-tailed deer and wild turkeys in appropriate seasons, and hiking or mountain biking along wooded trails with sweeping Appalachian overlooks. Brauer Ball Field is a local park featuring softball and baseball diamonds, as well as a football field. It's where most of the community's youth league games are held, like football games for the Cresaptown Eagles.
"We have a large trail system in Cumberland with over 300 miles of scenic views," says MacGray. "It's actually two different trails, for biking and hiking, the C&O Canal, which goes from Cumberland to Georgetown in Washington., and the other one that begins in Cumberland and goes to the center of Pittsburgh." In Cumberland, residents can access the western trailhead for the C&O Canal Towpath, a historic trail that spans 184 miles from Cumberland to Washington, D.C. Deep Creek Lake Park, located 40 miles from Cresaptown, hosts the largest man-made lake in Maryland.
