MVB Travel Series - Deep Creek
July 26, 2022
Deep Creek Lake attracts visitors throughout the warmer months with its pleasant climate and beautiful views. You won’t want to miss the Garrett County Fair, which happens every year in August. While there, take some time to exercise and enjoy nature at Swallow Falls State Park. Located along the Youghiogheny River, the park offers views of the highest free-falling waterfall in Maryland, Muddy Creek Falls, as well as campsites, hiking trails, and other amenities. If you are traveling with children, check out Spruce Forest Artisan Village, where you can learn about the trades of yesteryear and enjoy arts and crafts activities. The trip to Deep Creek would not be complete without a stop at Wisp Resort, with adventures available during all seasons of the year. During the colder months, hit the slopes or go snow tubing at the resort. In the warmer months, check out the zip lines, mountain rides, archery, golf, and disc golf courses, or head out to the water for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and pontoon boat tours. The summertime is also the best time to visit the Deep Creek Lavender Farm, with its fields of lavender and farm store where you can purchase a wide range of lavender products. The Autumn Glory Festival attracts visitors each October, when the Deep Creek area boasts some of the prettiest fall foliage that can be found in the state.
