Rocky Ridge Landing is a primitive access point on the Monocacy River controlled by Frederick County Parks and Recreation, featuring a gentle slope entry rather than a developed boat ramp and approximately 150 yards of maintained trail from the parking area to the river.

The site is typically gated and requires two weeks' notice to Frederick County Parks and Recreation for group access. Note that the launch area can become muddy and slippery after rain, and a minimum water level of 350 cubic feet per second (2.

1 feet) at the Jug Bridge gauge is recommended for paddling trips from this location.
