Secrets of Deep Creek Lake

Little-Known Stories & Hidden History In and Around Maryland’s Largest Lake

Maryland has no natural lakes, but during the 1920s, a Pennsylvania electric company constructed Maryland’s largest lake. Visitors have boated, swum, and fished the lake for decades, but it wasn’t created as a natural resource, it was created to generate electricity.

• Read about the man who created the Big Mac sandwich and how he helped create some of the lake’s tourist attractions.
• Discover the land where the buffalo roamed.
• Learn about the lake beneath Deep Creek Lake.
• Duck and hide from Garrett County’s version of Lizzie BordeSail across the lake on a swan, an ice boat, and the Turkey Neck Queen.
