Whitewater Rafting + Kayaking
Wet and wild is the best way to describe whitewater rafting and kayaking in Western Maryland. If you’ve never held a paddle, we will show you the waters on the only mountaintop recirculating whitewater course in the world with gentle rapids in a controlled environment. And if you’ve been paddling for years, we offer private boating day passes.
Just a few minutes up the mountain from the base of Wisp Resort sits the the world’s only mountaintop re-circulating whitewater course. Whitewater rafting can be enjoyed by beginners, families and paddling enthusiasts atop Wisp Resort. Just watching? Walk the one-mile trail surrounding the whitewater course and watch the excitement on the world’s only mountain top river!
Flying Squirrel Canopy Tour
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to soar among the trees, then have we got a surprise for you! The Flying Squirrel Canopy is the first challenge course canopy tour of its kind in the Deep Creek Lake area offering amazing tree-top views, agility challenges and 5 breathtaking zips from 180 feet to over 400 feet!
Mountain Coaster
The Mountain Coaster at Wisp Resort is a gravitational hybrid of an Alpine Slide and a Roller Coaster boasting a 1,300-foot uphill track while twisting, turning, dipping and rolling for 3,500 feet downhill over 350 vertical feet on the eastern side of Wisp Mountain. Guests ride in ‘coaster carts,’ and regulate their own speed with a set of handbrakes on the side of each cart. A centrifugal braking system restricts the coaster cart’s downhill speed at approximately 28 mph.
Lodestone Golf Course
36 Holes of Excellence. A modern trail-style golf course whose design was dictated by the mountaintop terrain and shaped by 3-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin. Lodestone Golf Course is in a league all its own. Ranked the #2 Public Golf Course in Maryland by Golfweek Magazine (2012-2015, 2017, 2018 & 2019), Lodestone has some of the largest greens on the East Coast, fairways large enough to be forgiving, and various tees offer variety and challenge for every golfer. With sweeping and stunning views of mountain ranges along Deep Creek Lake, Lodestone Golf Course is a mountain gem.
