Deep Creek Lake is Maryland’s largest freshwater lake, a reservoir created in the 1920s in the mountains of Garrett County, the state’s westernmost corner. Its shoreline is lined with lake homes and vacation rentals, and the area has become a four-season destination, with boating and swimming in summer, fall foliage and skiing at Wisp Resort in winter. Tourism, real estate, construction and outdoor recreation drive the local economy, along with farming in the surrounding countryside.
The lake is about three hours by car from Washington and Baltimore and around two from Pittsburgh, with the last leg on winding mountain roads. Garrett County Airport sits just a couple of miles from the lake, so flying private lets homeowners and renters arrive Friday afternoon and leave Sunday evening without losing a day to driving. Visitors come for boating, fishing, the waterfalls of Swallow Falls State Park, hiking and biking in the surrounding forests, and winter sports at Wisp.
