More Information
Details: Deep Creek Lake State Park lies just west of the Allegheny Front on a large plateau known as the Tablelands or Allegheny Highlands. Its location at the southernmost end of Meadow Mountain places it west of the Eastern Continental Divide and within the Mississippi River watershed. It gets its name from Deep Creek Lake, a hydroelectric project constructed on Deep Creek in the 1920's by the Youghiogheny Hydroelectric Company. The park is the site of the historic Brant coal mine and homesite, where a restored mine entrance preserves a typical drift or adit mine. <br><br><b>Directions:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;The park is in Garrett County, ten miles northeast of Oakland on the east side of Deep Creek Lake, two miles east of Thayerville, off US Route 219.
