Lake Day Atlas

In Garrett County, the state park brings together some of Deep Creek Lake’s easiest public shoreline access. Two swimming beaches, wooded trails on Meadow Mountain and the Discovery Center make it practical for one group to split up for part of the day.

On the water

Plan your lake day

Begin at the state park on State Park Road. Choose the beach and a picnic for a warm day or take a trail map to explore Meadow Mountain when the woods are cooler. The Discovery Center gives younger visitors a place to pause between the two.

Field notes

Before you go

The lake management office and the state park entrance have different addresses. Route to 898 State Park Road in Swanton for the park. The nearby McHenry camp store operates seasonally, so confirm day-visitor access and stock before making an ice detour.
