Just minutes away from the base of Wisp Resort sits the world’s
only mountaintop re-circulating whitewater course. The course was designed and built to host
Olympic caliber races and adjustable to comfortably accommodate beginners and
families. The course is just over 1700
feet long, dropping 24 feet from the top to the bottom. Water is pumped from the lower pond and
shoots into the pool at a whopping speed of 5 feet per second! 
Experienced guides will help you and your group maneuver through the gentle rapids or for a wilder ride, you may try the smaller High Adventure Guided tour. Private rafting and boating are also available. So, no matter if you are a veteran rafter or new to riding the rapids, you are sure to experience the thrill of whitewater!
Not sure what to wear? Comfort wear is available for rent and includes neoprene booties, a wetsuit, and a splash jacket. Don’t forget to bring a dry change of clothes, towel, and shoes for after your trip. Showers, changing rooms, and secure lockers are available for your convenience.

BRIAN CLOWDUS EXPERIENCES PRESENTS DEEP CREEK LAKE, MARYLAND – Wisp Resort has partnered with the
nationally-renowned production company, Brian Clowdus Experiences, to bring an
outdoor musical production to the mountaintop during Summer 2023. The world’s
only mountaintop whitewater course amphitheater serves as backdrop for the 90-minute
production of Gilligan’s Island – The Musical Experience every Wednesday
through Sunday from July 27 through August 20 starting at 7:30pm.
“This partnership has been years
in the making. The moment I arrived at the resort in August of 2020, it was evident
we needed to bring an immersive experience to this mountain. The natural beauty
and uniqueness of several locations at Wisp made it difficult to choose the venue
as I had so many ideas all at once,” stated Brian Clowdus, CEO of Brian Clowdus
Experiences. Mr. Clowdus continued, “This will be our first production
performing by a rushing river that will emulate the turbulent seas that the
crew of the S.S. Minnow navigated before being shipwrecked.”
Gilligan’s Island – The Musical
Experience features seven main characters with a surprise visitor or two. The musical
is based off the well-known 1960’s sitcom that follows the castaways’ hilarious,
wacky, and cockamamie attempts to escape the uncharted island. Brian Clowdus
Experiences will put their 360 immersive touches on the musical which combines
the use of the natural surroundings while using modern and relevant references to
deliver a large dose of comedic relief.
“Our teams are thrilled about
this venture with Brian. His choice of Gilligan’s Island is a great fit for all
the families that visit Wisp and Deep Creek Lake,” said Ron Hawkes, Wisp Resort
General Manager. “Brian’s attention to detail and ability to capture and engage
the audience is what sets Brian Clowdus Experiences apart from other production
companies. This is an exciting addition to the robust summer recreational offerings
in the area,” continued Mr. Hawkes.
Shows will be every Wednesday through Sunday, July 27 through August 20 at 7:30pm, gates open at 7:00pm. Three tiers of ticket prices and seating can be purchased online at wispresort.com/gilligans-island/. Captain’s Circle seating starts at $99 per person and features a front row picnic table seat, souvenir cup, soft drink, and snack. The Lido Deck seating starts at $59 for adults and $49 for juniors 17 and under and includes a seat on one of three terraces. The Crow’s Nest seating starts at $39 for adults and $29 for juniors on the lawn area above the terraces (no seating provided, guests can bring a chair or blanket.) All sales are final, and seating is first come, first serve. Handicap accessible seating is available, please call 888-527-0602 for more information.
Brian Clowdus Experiences is The National Leader in immersive, site-specific, entertainment, revolutionizing how modern audiences experience familiar classics. As CEO of Brian Clowdus Experiences, Brian Clowdus has been breaking entertainment boundaries for over 20 years. The Alabama native turned roving director does more than just tell a good story.

We are honored to host The Blind Skier 50th Anniversary Gala by Deep Creek Lake Lion’s Club. The Lion’s Club has planned a glamourous night on Tuesday, February 7, including guest speakers, dinner, dancing, fireworks, and silent auction.
The program was brought to Deep Creek Lake in 1973 after Bill Thoman, former mountain manager of Wisp Resort, and Jay Kamineck, a ski instructor, were skiing in Colorado when they saw sighted volunteers assisting young people with vision challenges in skiing down a mountainside. The club has since taught hundreds of visually impaired children to downhill ski.
To celebrate their 50th Anniversary, the gala will include keynote by Brian McKeever, paralympic gold medalist in cross-country skiing, dinner and cash bar, and an awards program to recognize long-time all-stars to the program.
To learn more about the Blind Skier 50th
Anniversary Gala, please visit Deep Creek Lake Lion's Club.

Our mission is to open as much terrain as possible, as soon as possible. #thankasnowmaker #highfiveagroomer
