About Deep Creek Lake

Located in Garrett County, Deep Creek Lake is a man-made reservoir conveniently located just a short drive from Morgantown, and about two hours from Pittsburgh.

The Potomac Valley Hospital is under 40 miles away, and the Pittsburgh International Airport is under 135 miles away.

"The Best Kept Secret of Maryland"

Deep Creek Lake is the largest inland body of water in Maryland. It covers 3,900 acres and has a maximum depth of 70 feet with 69 miles of shoreline.

It also surprises most people to learn that the lake is nearly a half-mile above sea level, at 2,462 feet!

Deep Creek is a true year-round destination, with something exciting to do during all four seasons.

During the winter, the lake averages over 17 inches of ice and hosts the wonderful downhill Wisp ski resort, which contains 132 acres of skiable area and 32 slopes. Ice fishing and snow tubing also keep residents busy during the winter.

Water Rafting

On the mountain top above the Wisp ski resort is an Olympic-standard whitewater rafting and canoe/kayak slalom center called Adventure Sports Center International.

While being accessible to the public, it was chosen to host the 2014 World Championship slalom competition.
