Approximately 35 miles to the east is the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and Maryland's historic capital city of Annapolis, "the sailing capital of America." Two hours further east are the sparkling white sand beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.

For hiking, camping and skiing enthusiasts, the mountains and vast wild forests of Western Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Pennsylvania are just a few hours drive away.
