Public Fishing & Hunting
Allegany County is mostly ridge and hollow, and a lot of it is public. Put-and-take trout streams, a mountain lake, tailwater on the Potomac, plus state forest and wildlife management areas open through the fall seasons. Always confirm current regulations with Maryland DNR before you head out.
