The 'Mountain Side of Maryland' represents a hidden gem, contrasting with the popular beaches of the Eastern Shore. Home to Rocky Gap State Park, this area features nearly 70,000 acres of public land, including the bluest water in the state at Lake Habeeb. Established with community cooperation, the park provides numerous outdoor activities such as biking on the Great Allegheny Passage. Additionally, the vicinity holds historical significance as it houses Mile Marker Zero of the first federally funded highway.
The creation of Rocky Gap State Park was inspired by the local Lions Club and was a major focus for the Route 40 Business Association, which played a crucial role in its establishment.
Rocky Gap State Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering 3,000 acres of scenic beauty, sheer cliffs, and the state’s bluest water at Lake Habeeb.
The Great Allegheny Passage, affectionately called 'the GAP,' offers 150 miles of biking paths through valleys, mountains, and alongside rivers, making it a biker's paradise.
Mile Marker Zero of the Historic National Road, located just near Rocky Gap, marks the beginning of America's first federally funded highway, enriching its historical significance.
