Rocky Gap State Park offers a public boat ramp on Lake Habeeb in Pleasant Valley, Allegany County, making it a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters in the area. The concrete launch ramp is located along Pleasant Valley Road within the park, just 7 miles east of Cumberland (accessible via I-68 Exit #50). The facility includes 50 parking spaces, handicap-accessible parking, restrooms, and a small fishing pier. A day-use fee is required to enter the park.
Lake Habeeb allows boating 24/7, though navigational lights are required after dark. Gasoline-powered motors are prohibited, making it ideal for paddlers and electric boat users. The park also features nearby hiker-biker campsites (Irons Mountain and Evitts Creek, both within 10 miles) for those planning overnight trips. Check with Maryland State Parks for current fees and seasonal hours before visiting.
