Bear Creek Traders

Bear Creek Traders is a large gift and souvenir shop in the Market Square shopping center at 24586 Garrett Hwy in McHenry, on the main road along Deep Creek Lake. With about 9,000 square feet of floor space, it's where many visitors go for Deep Creek Lake apparel and keepsakes, and where locals pick up gifts for birthdays and holidays.

What You'll Find on the Shelves

The heart of the store is its Deep Creek Lake collection: lake-branded shirts, hoodies, caps, stickers and souvenirs that make easy take-home gifts. Beyond that, the shop is organized into departments that cover a lot of ground:

• Fashion apparel and Life is Good clothing, stickers and caps
• Men's and women's jewelry
• Drinkware from Brümate and Corkcicle
• Toys and games, including Melissa & Doug
• Kitchen goods, candles, bath and body products and home decor
• Pet gifts and camping supplies

Because the mix runs from souvenirs to housewares, it works for a quick stop on the way back to the rental as well as a longer browse on a rainy afternoon.

Shopping From Home and Neighbours in the Plaza

The store's website includes a virtual store to look around before you visit and an online shop where some Deep Creek Lake souvenir items can be ordered, which is handy if you forgot to pick something up before heading home. Bear Creek Traders shares the plaza with Deep Creek Shop 'n Save, Bear Creek Coffee & Creamery and Mountain Flour Bakery, so you can combine gift shopping with groceries and a coffee in one parking lot.

If you want a Deep Creek Lake shirt or a gift for someone back home, this is a practical place to start.
