Overview
Deep Creek Lake is a roughly 3,900-acre hydroelectric reservoir in Garrett County—Maryland's largest inland lake—created in 1925 when the Youghiogheny Hydroelectric Company dammed Deep Creek on the Allegheny Plateau. Brookfield Renewable operates the dam and powerhouse, while the State of Maryland owns the lake bed and shoreline buffer managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources as the Deep Creek Lake Natural Resources Management Area.
