Lake Habeeb

With the 243-acre Lake Habeeb at its center, Rocky Gap State Park is a 3,000-acre public park surrounded by rough mountains in Allegany County, Western Maryland. Edward Habeeb, a florist who contributed to the area's development, was honored with a lake named in his honor. The Rocky Gap Run, which flows down a mile-long ravine, through towering cliffs and overlooks, and is bordered by a hemlock forest, dense rhododendron bushes, and mountain laurel, provides the water for the lake.

Kayakers, canoers, and boats with electric engines are all common on the lake. A public boat ramp is located off Pleasant Valley Road. The lake's perimeter extends over 15 kilometers, and it has three outstanding beaches. Among the activities available here are swimming, camping, and hiking.

The fishing at Lake Habeeb is equally excellent, and it is allowed every single day! Some of the species that live in the water include channel catfish, largemouth bass, bluegill, and rainbow trout.
