Oakland is a small town in the west-central part of Garrett County. Oakland is located near Deep Creek Lake and only few miles from the source of the Potomac River. Oakland Historic District has a number of beautifully restored Victorian buildings, which today house galleries, pharmacy, a library and fashionable boutiques. Swallow Falls State Park is located on the bank of the Youghiogheny River, and is known as the location of the 53-foot Muddy Creek Falls, the highest falls in Maryland.
