If you ever want to vacation in MD, then check out Deep Creek Lake.
The area is beautiful. It's not far from WV.

do you have to hike to this place, or do you drive? is it a state park or are there housing developments on the shore?

Deep Creek is a lovely part of the state (and considering I don't like the state, it must be pretty out there). It's out in western MD, the "handle". Deep Creek Lake is actually a dredged out reservoir, pretty good sized. It's a tourist area: the lake has housing and stuff around it, there's also Wisp which is a ski area. lots of hotels and tons of restaurants. I believe there may be some hiking, in the summer you can always hike around Wisp since they aren't skiing.

We used to go out there for mini-vacations a few times. There are other state parks also out west along the way.
