The American Adventure is more than a distant memory in Allegany County. The Mountain Side of Maryland offers visitors wonderful variety in a breathtaking natural setting. Spectacular vistas and overlooks, the striking beauty of pristine forests, and cool, clear mountain streams abound in our vast ridge and valley terrain. Allegany County is the place for outdoor adventure. Walk down Cumberland's Washington Street Historic District, home to beautifully restored Victorian structures, or take a Christmas candlelight tour of Frostburg.
Visitors can travel back in time as a guide in period costume brings the past to life.
Our proud past is matched by a bright and exciting future. The Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort, scheduled to open in 1998, will feature an 18 hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, as well as a 230 room Lodge to host meetings and conventions. Its design will enhance and expand the heritage tourism experience in Western Maryland. Our growing community brings visitors back year after year to enjoy the new developments and traditional attractions of this beautiful mountain haven. 2000 Premier Web Solutions Inc.
