In Garrett County you'll find the small and charming town of Oakland.

With a population of about 2,000 residents, this mountain town prides itself on its scenery, history, and close-knit community.

While there are a plethora of activities to do here year-round, including visiting the 1884 train station...

And exploring the great outdoors at Deep Creek Lake...

Autumn is when this town really shines.

Head downtown to visit the boutiques and antique shops that are decorated with festive fall decor.

You'll also spot adorably quirky parking meters. Oakland has a parking meter decorating contest each year and it's fabulously fun.
