This early May 2007 view of Deep Creek Village is from the marshy area on the northeast side of the cove behind the DCV units.  This cove is the northern most tip of McHenry Cove.  On some maps this corner of the lake is labeled Marsh Run Cove (Marsh Run feeds the lake from the right of this picture).

The main slopes of Wisp are directly across Marsh Hill Rd. from the DCV units.  The slopes are GREAT for hiking in late spring through mid autumn.  During the summer months you can ride your bike (preferably a mountain bike) over to the slopes from DCV and have the time of your life.  But our docks (left center) are the main gateway to fun in the area during the summer season.  This picture was taken with the lake at spring levels (highest of the year).  If you put a canoe or kayak in from the docks this time of the year, you can paddle fifty yards or so into Marsh Run or "the Heart of Darkness," as some of us like to call it.  This is the only time of the year when you can make this trek.  It doesn't take long to go there and back again and it isn't really scary (for most people).  But you do feel like Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn on the African Queen if you share the experience with a partner.
