Staff outdid themselves this year providing extra space for people to spread out and enjoy the many activities offered. Whether wandering the 4-part corn maze, getting to see farm animals up close, participating in friendly competitions or relaxing with great food, our entire family had non-stop fun. This is truly a place the whole family can enjoy.

On our way to Gettysburg from Frederick, we stopped here to have a picnic lunch. We found the area to be clean and were pleasantly surprised that there was even a bathroom. We also enjoyed getting some fun photos.

Beautiful location just north of the town of Thurmont offers fresh fruit (grown right there), local veggies and amazing baked goods. My favorite is the apple walnut pie. You can get them ready to eat, or frozen and ready to bake. Also try the apple cider donuts - yum! There's a nice selection of local jams and jellies, cookbooks, etc. Family run, with several generations contributing to the success of this agri-business. Go local!

The furnace itself has a little picnic area. There are a couple of paths you can choose. Most of them will take you around to streams that you can wade in. There more of walking paths, I wouldn't take my bike. The dog loves it, because it's mostly flat. Also wear a hat or tie your hair up tight. The ticks are very bad.
