Watershed Maps and Directions

2022 Watershed Season

Starting Tuesday, March 15 boating and fishing on the reservoirs can resume. Gates open 1/2 hour before sunrise. If you arrive and a gate is not open, please call our Police at 301-206-8888.

A sediment removal project on Triadelphia Reservoir is scheduled for mid-July through October. 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. Details on how to purchase a permit are available here - https://www.wsscwater.com/watershe. All boat mooring permits must be purchased in person at the Brighton Dam Visitor Center
