Review:
Deep Creek Lake, with almost a mile of scenic shoreline, is the largest Maryland inland body of water. Covering about 3,900 acres, this man-made lake is great for fishing and birdwatching. Swimming on the sandy lakeshore beach is great during hot summer days. The lake was created in 1920 as the result of the damming of Deep Creek. Today, the lake and the dam are part of Deep Creek Lake State Park.
There is a public access boat ramp, and anglers come in large numbers looking for largemouth, smallmouth and rock bass, northern pike, and other fish species.
