Deep Creek Lake

In the verdant forests of Maryland, there is a manmade lake known as Deep Creek Lake. The area surrounding the lake goes by the same name, and it is an outdoor recreation hub for locals and visitors alike. During the winter, the mountains around Deep Creek Lake are wildly popular for skiing. During the summer, you can play golf at more than a half dozen regional courses. All kinds of water-based activities are available, but one of the most enjoyable ways to pass the day is on land. On the Amish Miller Farm, you can set off for the afternoon on a horse-drawn carriage ride, exploring the daily life on a traditional Amish farm.
