Common questions about Maryland boat launches
- How many public boat launches are there in Maryland?
- Boating Hubs maps 193 boat launches in Maryland across 110 named waters. 160 are public access and 32 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
- Which waters in Maryland have the most boat launches?
- By mapped launch count: Choptank River (11), Pocomoke River (9), Chesapeake Bay (8), Susquehanna River (7) and Chester River (5). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
- Is there a fee to use boat launches in Maryland?
- Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for Maryland yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
