Devil's Backbone Park Boat Ramp

Devil's Backbone Park offers a boat ramp providing access to Antietam Creek for canoeing and kayaking, with a footbridge crossing the creek and nature trails on the scenic 9-acre park grounds.

The park features limited parking (38 vehicles), seasonal restrooms, and picnic facilities, with official hours from 9 AM to sunset (May through October), though walk-in access is available year-round.

The launch area below the dam has shallow but swift current with riprap banks, and paddlers should be prepared for Class I rapids and ledges immediately downstream.
