This comes as great news, because a new feature has been added at the Wisp Resort as part of its four-season appeal. The Flying Squirrel Zip Line Adventure is now available, offering the truly daring the opportunity to zoom between the treetops in the beautiful mountains of Garrett County.
In addition to being the home of Maryland's only ski resort, Garrett County also has the state's most rugged terrain -- making it a natural for outdoor adventure sports.
Speaking of Adventure Sports, one of our stops will be the world-class watersports facility built on the mountain near Wisp. Hopefully, the Marketeers will all get a chance to practice our kayaking skills. I'd also like to get in a trip to Deep Creek Lake, one of the most popular area attractions, and maybe even a little cycling.
The Savage River is nationally recognized for being one of the premier fly fishing streams in the country, which also contributes to the sports and recreation tourism Western Maryland enjoys.
Hopefully, we'll also get to take a look at the site where a new $23 million Community Sports and Recreation Complex is under construction on the campus of Garrett College. The planned project consists of a 32,000-square-foot aquatics center complete with two indoor swimming pools (you know how Terry loves those natatoriums,) a fitness facility and a physical therapy facility to be run by Garrett County Memorial Hospital.
A second phase will include a 34,000-square-foot gymnasium with three regulation-size basketball courts and seating for about 2,000. These present all sorts of possibilities for bringing more events to the far west.
So stay tuned for the adventures of Team Terry as we explore more of the many assets Maryland offers sports enthusiasts.
