Things To Do

If you are one who likes to do new things, see different places, and meet new and interesting people, Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County is a great place for you. Listed below are dozens and dozens of exciting Things to Do! You may know about Wisp, with 32 downhill ski trails, but did you know you can spend days shopping in antique shops? or take a moonlight sleigh ride or ride in a dog cart?

You may have known you could rent a motor boat on Deep Creek Lake, but did you know you could sign up for sailing lessons, or a guided flyfishing float trip on the Potomac River, or a flatwater kayak trip?

Of course you can golf at Wisp or at the Oakland Country Club, but you might want to try a guided family river walk, or bike on forest trails, or attend a concert or a community theater production. Whatever your taste for adventure or relaxation, you'll find activities to delight and refresh you!
