Essential Packing List for Deep Creek Lake in March
Deep Creek Lake might not be the first thing to spring to mind when you think of a March vacation, but it can be a fantastic getaway for many reasons this month. It’s a transitional time weather-wise, so early on, you might catch some lingering winter activities, and later in the month, you could glimpse the coming spring. It’s hard to guarantee weather anytime, but this time of year can be exceptionally unpredictable. That’s why packing smart is key.
Here’s your essential packing guide for Deep Creek Lake in March:
Bring all your usual equipment if you’re coming to ski or snowboard. But even if you’re coming without plans to hit the slopes, consider these key items.
Clothing for Deep Creek Lake in March
Pack for dressing in layers, with a few winter items in case you need them. For a base layer, we love these long-sleeved layers from 32 Degrees. They make a whole line of clothing perfect for layering up. If you prefer all-natural fibers, look at Smartwool.
Socks: Don’t forget those feet. If you’re hiking, waterproof socks are a must. At a minimum for day to day activity, you’ll want to be walking around in a something solid like these socks from Smartwool.
Fleece jackets are good to have on hand for mid-layers.
You should have a waterproof, insulated jacket for an outer layer for warmth and wind protection. This jacket from Outdoor Ventures should do the trick.
Gloves and hats are a must, along with any favorite scarves or accessories for additional warmth.
Waterproof shoes: If possible, you’ll also want waterproof shoes along with comfortable shoes for the indoors.
Don’t forget a swimsuit! Many rental properties and hotels have indoor swimming pools and/or hot tubs.
Sunglasses: The lake can catch some sunny days in March, so don’t leave those at home.
You should also have some sunscreen handy if you’re going to be outside.
Finally, it’s always good to have some basic first aid supplies with you. We have supplies at our place, but when traveling use these kits.
