That is one large creek! I'm from the Northwest and our definition of a creek is a tad bit different. I'm just not seeing much in it. The water is a bit wind blown so I am not seeing the 'calm'. Thanks for sharing.

This actually a lake named Deep Creek Lake. Here is the info:
At 3900 acres, Deep Creek is Maryland’s largest lake, and offers wooded campsites in a secluded state park along the lake’s shore. The lake is a dozen miles south of Interstate 68 along U.S. Route 219, tucked between the 3000-foot-plus Meadow and Marsh mountains. Sitting at nearly 2500 feet above sea level, the lake stretches 12 miles southeast from the area’s hub — the village of McHenry on the extreme north end of the reservoir. Built 76 years ago to supply water and electricity to the region, Deep Creek Lake is fed by several tributaries (known as “runs” in this part of Maryland), and feeds the national wild and scenic-designated Youghiogheny River.
Due to the mountainous terrain and the multiple valleys and watersheds that feed it, Deep Creek’s shoreline is as erratic as it is lengthy, with 65 miles of coves and quiet places. On the other hand, there are stretches of shoreline that are highly developed, offering their own appeal to campers who want a touch of civilization.
