Summer is sadly long gone but that doesn’t mean that you have to wait several more months for a fun getaway. In fact, there is one spot in Maryland that is arguably better during winter. We’ll let you decide for yourself.

The area surrounding Deep Creek Lake is filled with tourists during warmer months. In the winter, however, it’s a bit more quiet and serene.
