Deep Creek Lake in Maryland is a great family vacation destination. But for those of us with little kids, you know you’ve got to keep them entertained! Here are the top 5 activities for kids 7 and under.
Visit the Rock Maze Trail: Located in the Garrett State Forest, this is an easy trail that has lots of large boulders that form an amazing natural maze. Little kids love natural mazes and will have loads of fun navigating through the rocks. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/maryland/rock-maze-trail
Go gem mining: Marsh Mountain Mining Company is a great place to take little kids who love to dig for gems. Located at Wisp Resort during the spring, summer and fall, the attraction has a sluice and assay station so that kids learn while they have fun. https://www.wispresort.com/GemMining/
Go snow tubing: For little ones that might not be ready to go skiing, snow tubing at Wisp is a great alternative. A conveyor belt to the top of the hill makes it so that even the littlest ones can easily get their snow tube to the top of the hill. Only available in the winter - weather permitting. One thing to keep in mind is that Wisp has a policy of not refunding tickets even if the weather doesn’t permit tubing. So either wait until the day of to order tickets or make sure that you have an alternate day to use your tickets if weather doesn’t cooperate. https://www.wispresort.com/Snow-Tubing/
Go to Deep Creek Fun Zone: Attractions suitable for all ages. For littler kids, there are bumper boats, mini golf, kiddie karts and the arcade. If you want to take a day and do something other than hang out at the lake, Deep Creek Fun Zone is a great alternative. https://dcladventures.com/deep-creek-fun-zone/
Visit the Discovery Center at Deep Creek State Park: Learn all about the current and historical ecology of the area with hands-on exhibits at the Discovery Center. Then afterwards hike one of several trails or hang out at the Deep Creek State Park beach. http://www.discoverycenterdcl.com/
