Maryland Lakes & Rivers

When we think of boating, most of us think of Maryland’s extensive shoreline, dotted with marinas and boat slips for sailing off Maryland’s Atlantic shoreline.

But saltwater ocean boating is only one of the attractions Maryland holds for boating men and women. Maryland’s lakes and rivers also offer unique boating opportunities, These include Deep Creek Lake, Lake Jenkins, Rocky Gorge Reservoir, TriadelphiaReservoir, Youghiogheny River Lake, Liberty Lake, Loch Raven Reservoir, Mason Dixon Pond, Piney Run Lake, Prettyboy Reservoir, Back Creek, Bankhead Cove, Gilbert Pond, Gilbert Run Lake, Trinity Lake, Blackwater Ponds, Lake Lariat, Potomac River Reservoir, Savanna Lake and St Mary’s Lake.  Many of these lakes offer boat launching facilities at various locations around the lake.

Maryland also offers boating and canoeing on its various rivers. Try  Potomac River, Youghiogheny River, Chester River, Monocasy River,  Patuxant River, Choptank River and Nanticoke River.

River and lake sailing offers perfect family outing adventures. “Inland boating” lets you see parts of Maryland that can only be seen by water. You’ll see wildlife not normally seen in the more populated areas. Plus, sunrises and sunsets always seem more majestic when you are in the great outdoors, without worrying about tides or squalls or big steamships crowding the view.

Lake and rivers are the best venues for canoeing and kayaking and gives one a new and unique sense of boating without sails or motors; and gives a sense of how Native Americans “commuted” to their fishing and hunting areas.

They can add a new and unique element to anyone’s boating experience. But even a kayak or a canoe needs to be maintained and protected, just as any other boat does.
