CommentsThe boat launch area at Deep Creek Lake State Park is open 24 hours a day weather permitting. Overnight slip use is available only to DCL State Park campers on a first come, first serve basis. Visitors should be prepared to pay the launch ramp fee each time the ramp is used or display a valid lake use permit or MD State Park pass in the windshield. Several types of passes are valid at this state park boat ramp. Fee information is available at www.dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/oc.asp This site is designed for use by motorized vessels and is a very busy place in season. Visitors who bring their personal kayak, canoe or sailboard to the park should access the waterfront through the park entrance gate (service charge applies during all seasons) and launch at the “soft launch” provided near the beach area. Signs directing visitors to the “car top” boat launch are posted just inside the entrance gate.
