Coming in for the weekend and wondering what to do at Deep Creek? You’re already here and want to be in tune with the latest and greatest? The Deep Creek Weekly Round-Up is for you…
Weather, events, things to do, insider tips and info for May 9th-May 15th
Written on Friday, May 10th…a day late.
THE WEATHER
It’s been warm! Until today. 50s and off and on and rain for the next few days. But I think the quick and consistent warm-up we had in April and, according to the long-range forecast, the one we may have here in May, has really pushed our spring greens into high gear!
I feel like it’s usually well beyond mid-May when we see all the greenery I’m seeing out there right now. The dandelions seemed early and our trees are already so full of leaves.
THIS JUST IN
The main road to Swallow Falls State Park is STILL CLOSED. They’re repairing a small bridge on Maple Glade Road (the main road through the park) and the park ranger I talked to yesterday said they’re hoping it’ll be fixed by Memorial Day. In the meantime, you can take the “back way” into the park. More info here.
Teachers get 15% off this week at Espresso Alley for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-May 10)!
My friend Terah Crawford and I announced the Ready for Summer Party happening at Dutch’s at Silver Tree on Sunday, May 19th at 3pm! We’re hoping for sunshine and warmth so we can enjoy food, drink and friends on the deck and at Harbor Bar before the Deep Creek Lake busy summer season starts.
THINGS TO DO
Got kids? Need a rainy day activity? I highly recommend the Deep Creek Lake Discovery Center and The Alley.
LOCAL EVENTS
Yorkie Acres Farm Annual Spring Open House – Friday and Saturday, May 10th and 11th from 10am to 5pm
Mother’s Day brunches and buffets on Sunday, May 12th at Ace’s Run, Wisp Resort, Cornucopia Cafe, and Penn Alps
A look at the Silver Tree Marine docks from the Dutch’s at Silver Tree deck. Such a pretty lakefront…
Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it more…and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
I’m not sure I’m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesday…

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!
