Oldtown, set along the Potomac River where woodlands meet water, rewards everyday life with big-sky views and easy access to the outdoors. Step onto the crushed-stone towpath of the C&O Canal National Historical Park for sunrise rides or evening strolls, or plan a weekend of paddling and fishing from local access points. A short drive north opens up thousands of rugged acres in Green Ridge State Forest, where scenic overlooks, backcountry campsites, and gravel roads make spontaneous adventures part of your routine.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel and the support of Allegany County Public Schools, including nearby options in Cumberland. Commuting is straightforward via MD 51, with everyday services and healthcare in Cumberland and campus, arts, and coffeehouse culture in Frostburg. Day trips along the canal to Hancock blend history with small-town dining, while countywide events and trail updates are easy to follow through Allegany County resources.
Nature and history are on your doorstep: pedal uninterrupted miles beside 19th-century locks in the C&O Canal National Historical Park, then trade the towpath for ridge lines and starry skies in Green Ridge State Forest. For education and extracurriculars, families tap into Allegany County Public Schools and the wider network of youth sports, arts, and STEM programs throughout the county.
