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

Check out the hiking trails at all the local state parks. Regardless of the season they are gorgeous and really gives you some time to detach from reality for a little while.

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

Bears! There are many people who think bears want to go out of their way to harm them but keeping the trash locked in bear proof bins and bringing food inside from having a picnic or around the campfire, they will leave you be (for the most part) ?
