Deep Creek Lake, Reservoir in Garrett County, Maryland, US
Deep Creek Lake spans 3,900 acres with 69 miles of shoreline, offering water activities amid the mountains of western Maryland at 750 meters elevation.
The Pennsylvania Electric Company constructed Deep Creek Dam between 1923 and 1925 to generate hydroelectric power, creating Maryland's largest artificial lake.
The lake area hosts numerous local festivals throughout the year, including celebrations that bring together residents and visitors for outdoor activities.
Visitors can access the lake through Deep Creek Lake State Park, which provides facilities for boating, swimming, fishing, and hiking along the shoreline.
The lake maintains different recreational purposes across seasons, transforming from a summer water sports center into a winter destination for ice fishing.
