Riverside Park offers a concrete boat ramp suitable for small, shallow-draft boats, canoes, and kayaks on the Monocacy River in Frederick.

The facility features 60 paved parking spaces, a large turnaround area, and is open from sunrise to sunset with no launch fees; however, be aware that the shallow, rocky nature of the river limits use to small vessels with trolling motors, and mud can impede access after flooding.

Check river levels before launching, as the site requires a minimum flow of 215 cubic feet per second for safe paddling.
