Deep Creek Lake State Park Trails

Deep Creek Lake State Park is located in Western Maryland’s Garrett County. The park encompasses over 1,800 acres and adjoins Deep Creek Lake Natural Resources Management Area and its 3,900-acre man-made lake. Deep Creek Lake State Park lies just west of the Allegheny Front on a large plateau known as the Tablelands or Allegany Highlands. Its location at the southernmost end of Meadow Mountain places it west of the Eastern Continental Divide and within the Mississippi River watershed. The park gets its name from the lake, which was a hydroelectric project, constructed on Deep Creek in the 1920s by the Youghiogheny Hydroelectric Company. With its mile-long shore line, two swimming beaches, 20 miles of hiking/biking trails, 112 site campground, and 6,000 square foot Discovery Center, Deep Creek Lake State Park offers year-round activities for everyone.

Broadford Lake Trails

Broadford Lake Trails

Broadford Lake is known for being a great multi-species impoundment in the mountains of Western Maryland. Although best known for its panfish fisheries, Broadford is also home to a quality largemouth and smallmouth bass fishery. Each spring the lake is stocked with rainbow trout to provide anglers with a put-and-take trout fishing opportunity. Tiger muskellunge and striped bass are also stocked to help improve the size structure of the abundant panfish populations and provide additional angling opportunities.​
