We took our canoe to the Supplee Lane launch ramp and put in there. It was a well designed ramp for smaller crafts, and easy to get in and out of. There are plenty of parking spots and we had no problems even on a holiday weekend. There are Portable bathrooms, and a few tables to picnic there. This is where most people moore their boats for the season. We enjoyed our day of fishing, and look to come back shortly, and often.

GREAT place to go and fish, if you like having an old man in a blue and white boat FOLLOW you around for HOURS if he sees you catch ANYTHING. The other person commenting this is completely correct this old man is a nuisance to anybody in a boat. Do not let him see you catch anything he will be there circling that location all day every day .

Great place to kayak fish. Had fish jump out of the water in front of me. Caught some really big blue gill. And if you see someone harassing you, like the old man in the blue boat, call the police as it's illegal to harass legal fishing activities in accordance with MD Nat Res Code 4-506.1 (2015). It's also illegal to simply harass and stalk. Be sure to record it too.

Went here last weekend to fish with my brother and about an hour in we caught a small bass. Shortly after we noticed an old man in a white and blue boat following us around. This went on for several hours before we got fed up and left empty handed, all thanks to this old geezer. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ACTUALLY PLAN ON CATCHING FISH, YOU’LL BE FOLLOWED AROUND BY THIS BOAT!!
