Deep Creek Lake Map – Here are my top 5

by DCL Vacay on April 16, 2011

If you have never been to Deep Creek Lake, one of the first things you are probably thinking about is how to familiarize yourself with the lake.

5.  Railey provides a good map if you are looking for a rental from them.  Downside is that the icons are huge and sort of overtake the map.

4.  Here is one without rentals on it, looks a little old school…but at least it shows the span of the lake and major attractions like Wisp and the State Park.  It also has the major roads.

3.  Deep Creek Marina uses a Google mashup map with several local businesses on it.

2.  Taylor Made is another rental company in the Deep Creek Area, and their map is a rental/hybrid view using Google Maps.  You can change the view to map from hybrid, but there are still rental icons that cannot be removed which clutter it up.

1.  Google Maps is the winner.  This one has no icons on it, and you can clearly see the lake and roads.  Hit “larger map”, and try zooming into street view (keep zooming in, and it automatically brings you to street view.  You can explore roads at the street level, and change the views.  You can even select Google Earth after downloading the plugin, and check out the photos option.
