The fishing center provides numerous services, offering boat rentals, freshwater fishing licenses, bait and launching permits.
So come on out and enjoy the tranquil but live waters, beautiful wooded scenery and peace and quiet of one of the County's best-kept secrets.
Please note that in an effort to provide ready boating access to Loch Raven Reservoir, we must limit the parking and activities at fishing center to that of its patrons. Therefore no picnicing, shoreline fishing or other "non-fishing center" related activities are permitted on the shore. Those wishing to pursue other recreational activities in and around the reservoir property are encouraged to park on Loch Raven Drive near Morgan Mill and Providence Roads for dawn to dusk parking being sure to adhere to all posted parking regulations. For more information regarding recreational activities in other areas of the reservoir property please contact Baltimore City Bureau of Water and Waster Water at 410-396-1886.
