3,000 Miles of Shoreline
With this much access to water, there’s always something fun to do on Maryland’s waterways. Set sail in Annapolis, America’s sailing capital, one weekend. Cruise around Deep Creek Lake the next. Take your next workout to the water while surfing in Ocean City or navigating the Potomac River on a stand up paddle board in National Harbor.
Health is Wealth
Maryland is consistently among the top-10 states for healthcare, which comes as no surprise with leading institutions, including Johns Hopkins University, in our state. In addition to great healthcare, Maryland’s environment provides countless ways to be physically active.
