Silver Tree Marine Adds New Boat Ramp and Docks
Local marina Silver Tree Marine recently began work on their new lakeside site on Deep Creek Drive. Silver Tree Marine currently has a service facility located on the very northern end of Deep Creek Drive, storage facilities on Rock Lodge Road, and rental and fuel docks located lakefront at Silver Tree Center off of Glendale Rd. The new site on Deep Creek Drive will allow
the marina to put in boats much closer to their facility, reducing traffic around the lake, and allowing for close proximity to a service center for their clients. In addition to boat ramp, STM will also be adding seven dock slips for their clients and customers. The boat ramp will not be open for public use, but inquiries about leasing a slip can be sent to info@silvertreemarine.com.

The Deep Creek Lake Resort Report New Waterlines Installed Across Deep Creek Lake
In efforts to better service McHenry with public water, Garrett County has installed new water lines that connect the McHenry Public Water System with Thayerville Public Water System, creating the Deep Creek Lake Water System. This new system will provide the southern end of Deep Creek Drive with public water and allow for a more reciprocal system and ultimately more water to McHenry. This new line will also
allow for more reliable water for fire suppression systems and the ability to add a fire hydrant on Rock Lodge Road. It also will allow for future public water expansion. During the permitting process, it was decided that the sewer lines should also be replaced. While there were no issues with the current sewer lines, the new lines installed are rated for a lifespan of 100 years and are made for waterways. The project
