Upper Monocacy River Boat Ramp
River Access Point
The Monocacy River boat ramp has access to the Monocacy River. It has 8 parking spaces. It is located 6 miles north of Frederick on Route 15 near Devilbliss Road Bridge. The boat ramp is a small but well?used access point that serves paddlers looking for a quieter, more rural stretch of the river. Tucked just downstream of the bridge, the launch is simple and unpaved, offering a straightforward slide--in spot for kayaks, canoes, and other light craft. Its location makes it a convenient midpoint option: upstream lies a winding, mostly undeveloped corridor with farmland views, while downstream the river gradually broadens as it approaches the city. The setting feels distinctly pastoral, with open fields, tree?lined banks, and the steady hum of Route 15 overhead, giving the site a blend of easy access and natural calm that locals appreciate.
