What visitors say
Mixed reviewsBroening Park Boat Ramp is conveniently located near downtown Baltimore with good parking and well-maintained launch facilities that accommodate boats up to at least 17 feet. The ramp is accessible but somewhat difficult to find as it requires driving through a hospital parking lot, and the surrounding area lacks cleanliness and public restrooms. Visitors appreciate the peaceful water setting and friendly atmosphere, though some have encountered disruptive behavior from individuals at the dock, and congestion during busy times may affect launch operations.
