*ALTERNATE ROUTE to Rt. 219 South (Deep Creek, Swallow Falls, Herrington Manor, and Potomac-Garrett) – it’s about 10 minutes faster and quite scenic, but we don’t recommend it under severe weather conditions:

At the bottom of a long hill turn sharp right onto State Park Road (for Deep Creek Lake State Park) OR continue on Glendale Road until it ends. Turn left onto Rt. 219 South for Swallow Falls, Herrington Manor, or Potomac-Garrett.
