Leave No Trace
The BLM requires travelers to Deep Creek Mountains and all other public sites to clean up after visiting. Otherwise, the area's pristine natural environment would be degraded by visitors' activities. Do not camp within 200 feet of the water, and remember to double-check for trash. Before leaving, throw away anything disposable and exit the park with it in hand. Be careful when viewing wildlife, as you are merely a visitor to their home. By adhering to these rules, you can contribute to a healthier environment.
