Going to Deep Creek has always been a yearly vacation event for my family - since I was a child, then with my wife, and then with our children, after we became parents. This is a cherished piece of Americana which changes in a way - but never really changes. The national park, with its breathtaking display of nature, is a peaceful refuge from the everyday pressures of the modern lifestyle. Whether one walks the trails of the park, sits and listens to the symphony of the crystal clear waters of Deep Creek, or seeks to outsmart that trophy trout, Deep Creek has something for everyone of every age. Since the early 1960s, tubing down the creek is a unique local tradition that continues to grow each year.

There just isn't anything like stepping out to the early morning fresh mountain air and listening to the babbling waters of Deep Creek. I hope you can experience this with us.
