This Lake In Maryland Has Some Of The Bluest Water In The State

It’s the best time of year for exploring Maryland’s lakes, especially those that offer swimming. The following spot is not only located in a beautiful mountain setting, but the water is incredibly clear, often appearing blue when reflected with the sky. Check out Lake Habeeb at Rocky Gap State Park this summer. You won’t be disappointed.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Rocky Gap State park is located in Flintstone, Maryland. Head here to enjoy the on-site resort, camping, and more.

Up close, the water is clear. From afar, it appears as a dreamy blue.

Be sure to visit the park early, as the parking lot can fill up quick on weekends. This is one underrated gem worth seeking out.
