The greatest part about having your own set of wheels is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make the most of your newfound freedom by checking out all there is to do in Elkins. It’s just 16 miles away. Among your first stops here should be Davis and Elkins College, Elkins City Park and Gandy Dancer Theatre and Conference Center. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of McHenry, 40 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Deep Creek Lake. (But we’re also huge fans of Wisp Resort and Swallow Falls State Park.)
