New Germany State Park is one of Maryland's best kept secrets. The park offers forests with ten miles of multi-use trails and a small lake suitable for fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating. This Western Maryland gem is ideal for families and individuals looking to escape from the busy pace of life in cities and suburbs. Paddle on the 13-acre lake, hike through dense hemlock forest, or picnic on a lakeside table. The park's full-service cabins offer a comfortable alternative to outdoor camping.
Reservations must be made 1 Day(s) ahead of arrival and can be made up to 365 Day(s) in advance.
