Watershed Maps and Directions

2022 Watershed Season

The watershed is now open for boating and fishing on the reservoirs. Gates open 1/2 hour before sunrise. If you arrive and a gate is not open, please call our Police at 301-206-8888.

• As of August 22, 2022 - Browns Bridge boat ramp is closed to all boats until further notice due low water levels
• Due to the receding water level at Triadelphia Reservoir, Pig Tail boat ramp is open for carry-in boats. No boat trailer access.
• If using a boat trailer, please consider using alternative boat ramps on Triadelphia Reservoir or T. Howard Duckett Reservoir.
• Greenbridge, Triadelphia, and Big Branch boat ramps are fully accessible.

A sediment removal project on Triadelphia Reservoir is scheduled for later this fall. During that time, all boat ramps will be closed and no boating will be allowed. Additionally, the Greenbridge and Pig Tail recreational areas will be closed to ensure public safety due to the construction activity.

Permits can be purchased online or in person at the Brighton Dam Visitor Center or WSSC Water's headquarters. All boat mooring permits must be purchased in person at the Brighton Dam Visitor Center
