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 April 4th-April 10th.
Written on Thursday, April 4th…
THE WEATHER
Well guys, I’m back to talking about snow. Yep, it’s April and it’s snowing. Thankfully it’s not much, it’s barely laying. But tomorrow we may see 1-3 inches.
We also had three straight days of rain this week. The waterfalls at Swallow Falls State Park are raging right now.
But the precipitation and cold won’t last long! I’m seeing 60s in next week’s forecast…and maybe even some days of sunshine along with those warm temperatures!
THIS JUST IN
Docks are going in! As of April 1st, docks are allowed to go back in the water. A little birdie told me Pergin Farm is on the docket for today. Bill’s Marine North, Lake Life Boat Rentals, the Silver Tree Marine ramp and Aquatic Center all had dock action this week too.
We haven’t tried the new Fox’s Pizza Den at the lake yet! Did you know they deliver? Yep, only place in all of Deep Creek + Garrett County that will deliver.
Deep Creek Lake Art, Wine & Beer Festival tickets are now on sale! Mark your calendar for September 6-7.
Speaking of tickets, Big Funky Blues Fest tickets are also on sale…and right now, you can get the early bird price! Mark your calendar for July 13th.
THINGS TO DO
Based on this weekend’s weather forecast of 30 degrees + a chance of snow on Saturday and then a little warmer on Sunday without rain or snow, maybe, I don’t have anything too earth-shattering to recommend except the events listed below and treating yourself to some coffee and food (scroll down to the restaurant list).

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!
