Deep Creek Lake State Park

Deep Creek Lake State Park extends along one mile of shoreline, featuring dense forests, hiking trails, and multiple water access points for recreation.

The establishment of the park in the early 1900s marked a significant step in Maryland's conservation efforts and public lake access initiatives.

The park serves as an educational center where naturalists conduct programs about local wildlife, including black bears and wild turkeys throughout the year.

Visitors can access boat ramps, swimming areas, and camping facilities for both tents and RVs with an entrance fee of 3 dollars per person.

Located west of the Eastern Continental Divide, the park sits within the Mississippi River watershed and contains Maryland's largest freshwater lake.
