Ellis Bay Wildlife Management Area

Picture
Ellis Bay WMA is located in southwestern Wicomico County on Muddy Hole Road. From U.S. 50, take MD 349 west to Capitola Road, south to Trinity Church Road, west to Muddy Hole Road and Ellis Bay WMA. Marked parking areas located off Muddy Hole Road (Longitude and Latitude: 38.268653, -75.839129)

Ellis Bay Boat Ramp:

Picture
With Trinity Church Road on your right, make a left off of Muddy Hole Rd which will lead you to launching your boat. Keep in mind this boat ramp and its location is designed for boats that travel in shallow waters and is not designed for bigger vessels (Longitude and Latitude: 38.265417, -75.856394)

Mt. Vernon Boat Ramp ***I would launch at Mt. Vernon when wanting to hunt on main part of the river to prevent hitting bottom!

Picture
When going U.S 13 South make a right onto Mt. Vernon Rd between the McDonalds and Goose Creek in Princess Anne. Take Mt. Vernon nearly all the way down (roughly 8 miles) and and look for a sign directing traffic to turn right onto Dorsey Rd leading to the Mt. Vernon boat ramp (Longitude and Latitude: 38.248040, -75.830093)
**From here by boat Ellis Bay is across the Wicomico, look at maps to identify WMA and look for yellow boundary signs that mark off the public hunting land
