McCoys Ferry Access provides a boat ramp for easy access to the Potomac River at mile 110. 4 on the C&O Canal Towpath, popular with kayakers and anglers.

The location features a nearby campground with 12 drive-in campsites and seasonal amenities (water available April 15-November 1, year-round toilets), though vehicle access is limited by a tunnel with a 10'3" height restriction and 20-foot length maximum.

Maryland fishing licenses are required for anglers 16 and older, and alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the park.
