Big Pool blends quiet, rural living with standout outdoor and historical experiences. Weekends often start at the water’s edge, where anglers cast for bass on the natural “big pool” along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Just down the road, Fort Frederick State Park showcases an 18th-century stone fort, miles of trails, birding, and seasonal events, while cyclists and stroller-pushers enjoy smooth miles on the paved Western Maryland Rail Trail. With I-70 nearby, residents can reach the arts, healthcare, and employers in Hagerstown in minutes, or head to antique shops and farm markets in Clear Spring.
Families appreciate that the community is served by Washington County Public Schools, with students typically attending Clear Spring’s elementary, middle, and high schools. Outdoor learning happens daily here—history aficionados, paddlers, and star-gazers all find ready-made classrooms in the surrounding parks and green spaces.
Day-to-day needs are easily met in Clear Spring and along the interstate corridor, while bigger shopping trips and dining out are convenient in Williamsport and across Washington County. Housing options range from classic farmhouses to newer builds on roomy lots, and the pace of life encourages porch conversations, backyard gardening, and unhurried evenings.
