Mill Run Playground

If you’re heading out to the Mill Run Recreation Area, the playground is worth the stop — especially if the kids need to burn some energy before or after a lake day. The trail access nearby makes it easy to tack on a short walk through the woods, which honestly makes the whole outing feel less like “just going to a playground.” Accessible features mean it works for more families, which you don’t always find out here in Garrett County. The lake being that close is the real draw — you’re basically combining a nature walk, water views, and playtime in one trip.
