What is the difference between Lakefront, Split Lakefront, Lake Access, Ski In - Ski Out/Golf, and Lake Area.

Deep Creek Lake is surrounded by an area of land called a buffer strip. This buffer strip is land owned by the State of Maryland between the water's edge and the private property boundaries of adjacent land owners. The buffer strip is protected and regulated by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in order to protect the natural beauty of the shoreline at Deep Creek Lake.

LAKEFRONT
Lakefront refers to real estate parcels with a boundary adjacent to the Sate of Maryland Waterfront property (buffer strip). Lakefront properties have access to the lake by walking directly from the home to the water with no public road to cross in between. The distance between the lakefront house and the water varies greatly. Even though the property is considered lakefront, this does not mean that there is a view of the water from the home. Much of the shoreline at Deep Creek Lake is wooded. The Maryland DNR regulates the cutting of trees and the construction of certain structures along the shoreline. Therefore, the lakefront may have a filtered view or at times no view of the lake.
SPLIT LAKEFRONT
Split Lakefront refersto real estate parcels that border the the buffer strip, but there is a road to cross running between the house and the water. The property owner does own the land on the other side of the road bordering the buffer strip: however, there is a road to cross to gain access to the lake. Split Lakefront may or may not have a view of the water.
LAKE ACCESS
Lake Access refers to real estate that has deeded rights to use a common access strip to reach the buffer strip area, and in some cases, boat docks. With Lake Access properties, the property owner does not own the access area, but you are permitted to access the water from this area. The distance from the home to the access area varies. The access area for the lake may be within walking distance, or you made need to drive to the area. Again, you may or may not have a view of the lake from a Lake Access property.
Ski In - Ski Out/Golf
Ski In - Ski Out/Golf are homes located nearby to the Wisp. Ski In - Ski Out/Golf homes are located within walking distance to the ski slopes. Most homes are situated right on the ski slopes. Golf homes are located nearby to the Wisp Golf Course.
Lake Area
Lake Area simply refers to real estate surrounding Deep Creek Lake Area. Lake Area properties do not have a deeded access area to the lake. Most of our Lake Area homes are within a a short drive to Deep Creek Lake State Park, where you can easily access the lake. You may or may not have a view of the lake from a Lake Area property.
