Or speed things up with boat or Jet Ski rentals.

Or take to the air via obstacle and ropes courses at Monkey Business Adventure Park. Sleep under the stars at Deep Creek Lake campsites or at Ella’s Enchanted Treehouses, which offers up-high lodging for everyone thanks to their wheelchair accessible DayDreamer treehouse.

And with eight on-site dining options, you’ll have no trouble wrangling meals.
