Description

McCoole Boat Access - Maryland side.  Directions: Take US-220 south from Cumberland. Turn right onto MD Route 135 and proceed for approximately 1 mile. A gate on the left side of the road marks the entrance road which leads to an open, grassy field with parking for cars or trailers.  The turn into the boat access is hard to see from the road until you're on it.  The gravel road into the boat access is badly washed out and not good for vehicles with low ground clearance.
