Photograph by David Coleman. Greenbrier Lake is a centerpiece of Greenbrier State Park, located near the town of Boonsboro in Washington County, Maryland. The 42-acre man-made lake, created in 1969, sits at the foot of South Mountain in the Appalachian Mountain range. The park, encompassing 1, 407 acres, is part of the larger South Mountain Recreation Area and offers a variety of outdoor activities for visitors throughout the year. The lake features a 1, 000-foot sandy beach, which is a popular destination for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking during the summer months. The presence of lifeguard stands, including those marked with "No Lifeguard on Duty" signs, is a common sight at public beaches and lakes, serving as a reminder for visitors to exercise caution when enjoying water activities. These structures, often made of wood to blend with the natural surroundings, are not just functional but also contribute to the rustic, nostalgic ambiance of lakeside settings. Greenbrier State Park offers numerous amenities beyond swimming, including hiking trails, fishing opportunities, boat rentals, and camping facilities. The park is known for its scenic beauty, particularly in autumn when the surrounding forest displays vibrant fall colors. The lake and park are easily accessible from nearby urban areas, making it a popular day trip destination for residents of Baltimore, Washington D.C., and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region. The park's location in the Blue Ridge Mountains provides visitors with opportunities to experience the natural beauty of Western Maryland while enjoying recreational activities in a well-maintained state park setting.
