Boating on Deep Creek Lake

The boat launch facility is open most of the year except when winter weather or ice conditions prohibit access. Fishing is generally good on the lake with stocked trout, walleye, bass and yellow perch being the most abundant. A service charge for use of the ramp applies to all making use of the facility. A Maryland State Park Passport (annual pass to all Maryland State Parks) is recommended. Purchase a State Park Passport here.
