Loch Lynn Heights, MD

Tucked into the mountains of Garrett County right next to Oakland, Loch Lynn Heights is a quiet, close-knit town of around 500 people. In the late 1800s, it drew big summer crowds as a railroad resort known for its hotels, music, and entertainment. Those bustling vacation days have quieted down, leaving behind a relaxed residential community with plenty of local charm. Neighbors spend time outside at the town park and athletic fields, or take peaceful walks along the Loch Lynn Wetlands Trail boardwalk. It offers a laid-back, small-town setting with quick access to shops, schools, and outdoor recreation across the county.
