Welcome to Deep Creek Lake

McHenry is a small town that lies on the northern shore of Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland. The lake covers almost 4,000 acres and has more than 60 miles of shoreline, providing ample opportunity for water sports, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. During the winter months, the snows arrive and the cold snap freezes the lake turning the area into a white wonderland. Don't let this stop you from staying at one of the McHenry vacation rentals, as the frosty realm is a pleasure to explore, and you can try your hand at some ice fishing. You can also dive into one of the historical museums, or enjoy a hot chocolate in one of the cozy log cabin cafes.

Looking back into history

While staying in one of the McHenry vacation rentals, nature hogs the limelight. But there are nearby attractions for history buffs as well. The Garrett County Historical Society & Museum offers a look at times gone by, with immersive exhibits displaying antiques, artworks, and industrial relics from the long-ago days which formed the character of the region. Meanwhile, the Spruce Forest Artisan Village is a lovingly crafted recreation of the past, with log cabins and artisans who still blacksmith and weave in the traditional way.

Acres of parkland to explore

With vast sweeps of parkland to explore in the region, you can look forward to dozens of outdoor activities while staying at your McHenry vacation rental. In the winter, you can snowshoe or cross country ski, while spring, summer, and fall are the perfect seasons for mountain biking the trails, or kayaking and boating on Deep Creek Lake. Near to the town, you can step back in time by boarding a carriage or sleigh for a guided tour around the countryside. There are also several award-winning golf courses made up of challenging rolling lawns punctuated by sandy pits.

Seasonal escapades around McHenry

If you come during this time, you can ski and snowshoe in the beautiful snowy wonderland. Just be sure to wrap up warm.
