The MD DNR Fishing report states, and I quote: “[if you are] vacationing at Deep Creek Lake …. be sure to make fishing part of your vacation plans — you will not regret it”.

Our lake temperature gauge seems to be back on track with the lake temperature just over 70 degrees currently! Thank you for your patience!

The Garrett County Health Department announced yesterday that there have been two additional COVID-19 cases reported in Garrett County. The current total is 63 and Garrett County’s 7-day positivity rate is 0.5%. Three persons are currently isolating due to COVID-19 positive tests.

There is a food giveaway today in Grantsville and the Little Yough Family Flicks happens tonight. The Mountain Fresh Farmer’s market is tomorrow and Black Beat is having Wing Night on Monday evening. Of course, each of these events have taken precautions for COVID-19.

One note of clarification from the Community Trust Foundation regarding the upcoming Humanitarian award presentation: “Since its inception, the WGW event has raised over $800,000 for over 75 different youth-related activities.”

There is a virtual 5k Run / Walk to benefit homeless veterans taking place on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2020. What a great way to take advantage of Deep Creek’s great outdoors (even in November!)

NOW ANNOUNCING: 🎉

The 3rd Annual People’s Choice Challenge celebrates what’s great at Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County, Maryland!! You NOMINATED YOUR FAVORITES and now YOU can WIN!

This year, we have added a twist. Due in part to the novel coronavirus as well as input from the community, we are eliminating the daily voting portion of the Challenge this year. Instead, we would like to celebrate each and every nominee to reflect the honor of being chosen as a People’s Choice Favorite!

We are asking individuals to take a selfie or photo anywhere nearby a FAVORITE’S outdoor sign, or indoors with a FAVORITE’S team or site/products/services. Then, submit your photo to Deep Creek Times! It’s that easy! Each photo submission will be an official entry to the contest.

You may be asking, but, Sarah, what do I win?! Well, Deep Creek Times will be awarding $150 to three randomly selected photo entries.

See the details here!

We want to see PHOTOS of your FAVORITES!
