Spring has officially landed in Garrett County! With the summer season just around the corner, many businesses and residents are preparing for a fun filled summer. The Bear Project for the deep creek lake state park is making a huge impact on what they hope will bring a new canopy. The bears are one by one moving into their new "foster homes" where they will be found until November. So this summer and fall, when you visit, why not go on a bear hunt? Join in the fun by picking up a Bear Trail Guide at each of the sponsor locations, the Discovery Center, Visitor Center in McHenry and other locations. Those that find all 20 bears, verified by the participating sponsors, will be eligible for a grande prize drawing of a carved bear! We will have our very own and he will be serving lemonade to thirsty searching parties!
In other news, the state parks are opening for longer days and more visitors, both local and beyond. Six State parks are located in Garrett County. All offer picnic, and fishing areas, while all but Casselman River State Park have hiking paths. Mountain bike paths, swimming areas, and boat launches and rentals are available at Deep Creek, Herrington Manor and New Germany State Parks. Rental cabins are available at Herrington Manor and New Germany State Parks. Big Run, Deep Creek, Herrington Manor and New Germany State Parks all offer canoeing, while campsites may be found at Big Run, Deep Creek, New Germany, and Swallow Falls State Parks. Nature is a thing some people often overlook. But, when you are here, you stop to take a look around. And what you see, it truly one of a kind.
