Whether you're a sun-seeker or a fan of those iconic blue crabs, the Old Line State offers a trove of worthwhile experiences. Driving along the winding highways of these verdant valleys, you might end up in New Germany State Park. Nestled within the larger Savage River State Forest and boasting mountain valley views, it's easy to see why this tucked-away destination is often called Maryland's "best-kept secret". New Germany State Park is located in Garrett County, near the Pennsylvania border, in a more rural part of Maryland. So, driving from any major hubs — such as Baltimore, Pittsburgh, or Washington, D.C. — will take around two or three hours.
