About five years ago, Irwin and Cheryl bought a place on Deep Creek Lake. It is at the Southern part of the lake and their post office is Oakland, Maryland.The lake is at about 2500' in elevation and typically it is about 10 degrees cooler than DC. or Baltimore which is very nice in the summer.
Deep Creek Lake was created in 1925 by an electric company which built a dam on the northern side of the valley. It has been a refuge from the tropical summers of DC since at least the 1930s but in the early years, travel to the lake was a problem. Since I-68 was completed in 1991, travel is much easier and recreation activities and summer homes have increased in the area.
We visited them early in the afternoon on Sept 4.
