Given the hot weather that swept Pennsylvania in the past few weeks, Its no wonder we’re writing about ice cream Besides traditionals such as iced lemonade or a dip in the lake, what else in the Deep Creek Lake area could satisfy both your craving for cool and your never-ending search for that sweet goodness we call ice cream?
Now on their 14th birthday, the Lakeside Creamery has given the nearby residents something to smile about. Situated just off of Garett Highway, the most notable ice cream parlor around the lake features 90 flavors, each made on the premisis of the creamery! Not only do they offer sugar cones or waffer cones, but this ice cream parlor makes their own waffle cones as well. Open the front door to their store and you’ll have to get one yourself.
You can also pull your boat to the Creamery’s dock and grab some ice cream from the convenience of your boat! In fact, fill up your pontoon boat and bring the whole gang. Benches and tables sit right at the water’s edge looking over a spectacular view of the lake! Visit at sundown and watch the sunset with your hubby as your ice cream blissfully melts away.
Its a fact – people love ice cream and we can’t get enough of the Lakeside Creamery. Take our word for it. You have to try it to believe it!

We recently finished our vacay in Deep Creek Lake. This was our second trip, and it looks like we are going back again. Everyone had a blast! Due to our recent visit to DCL, you will see many new photos and articles coming your way to help you better navigate the area and find just what you’re looking for. In order to achieve our goal of helping you plan your upcoming vacay (vacation), many of you are going to need to know who to call to rent a boat, or a waverunner.
Our families had an excellent experience with Deep Creek Marina. Fair disclosure (they are also a sponsor of our site now). We did however make use of both waverunners and boats during our stay and now have a good grasp as to what worked best for our rather large group balancing both time and need to be out on Western Maryland’s largest and most attractive lake.
