FISHING
Grab your pole and tackle box, pack up a little
cooler, and head outside to some of Allegany
County’s favorite fishing holes. The creeks, rivers,
and waterways that make up the Allegheny
Mountain range provide perfect places to cast a line
and soak up some rays. Popular fishing spots include
the Battie Mixon Fishing Pond, Dans Mountain State
Park, Spring Gap Campground along the Potomac
River, and of course, Rocky Gap’s Lake Habeeb.
