​Fishing

A small pond is located in the Rock Run area with a healthy population of largemouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish. Just a short walk from the campground, this pond is perfect for teaching kids to fish as it is classified as a Free Fishing Pond and no fishing license is required. Please be sure to consult the Maryland Freshwater Sportfishing Guide for information about fishing regulations.

Please note that no swimming or wading is allowed in the pond. Pets also are not allowed in the pond.
