How long have you lived in Deep Creek? I grew up here and returned to the area in 2010 after 23 years in the Army.

Fishing, boating, basketball, and hunting.

Favorite thing about the area?

Friendly people everywhere you go.

Favorite Local Restaurant? Uno's

Favorite Season? Spring

Favorite Local Events?

I like going out on my boat to watch the July 4th fireworks.

If you only had a couple of days to spend in Deep Creek, what would you recommend doing? (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter)

I always tell people to get on the water and enjoy fishing.

What is the most common misconception about DCL from out-of-towners?

I think people don't know how much Wisp offers beyond skiing. They have the mountain coaster, canopy tours, outdoor music in the summer and more.
