Veterans Dr, Federalsburg, MD 21632, USA
Federalsburg VFW Boat Ramp is a public launch site located on Veterans Drive in Federalsburg, Maryland, providing access to the Marshyhope Creek in the upper Chesapeake Bay watershed.
No posted hours or permit requirements are available for this ramp, so boaters should plan visits with that in mind and check locally if timing is a concern.
The site offers a wheelchair accessible parking lot, making it more approachable for boaters with mobility needs than many smaller creek ramps in the area. It sits at approximately 38.6788599°N, -75.775001°W. No additional facilities such as restrooms or fuel are listed.
Marshyhope Creek connects downstream to the Nanticoke River, offering a quiet, scenic paddling and small-boat route through wooded, rural Eastern Shore terrain. Federalsburg itself is a small town with local shops and dining nearby for boaters looking to make a day of it.
Best suited for: Local anglers, kayakers, and small motorboat owners looking for a low-key, accessible put-in on Marshyhope Creek rather than a full-service marina experience.
What visitors say
Mixed reviewsFederalsburg VFW Boat Ramp offers free access with two boat launches, picnic tables, and a walking trail, making it a popular spot for fishing and family outings. The water is deep enough at the ramp itself but becomes shallow further out, requiring boaters to monitor their depth finder. The facility can get busy and the walking trail may flood after heavy rains, and some visitors have noted concerns about lack of supervision and safety violations at the site.
