New Waterfowl Hunting Opportunity in Garrett County

Managed Goose Hunt at Broadford Lake

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources announced today a new waterfowl hunting opportunity at Broadford Lake in Garrett County. The managed hunting opportunity complements the existing goose hunting program at Deep Creek Lake.

The two hunts are by permit and reservation only during select days (Nov. 21-23). Interested hunters can apply here.

“The chance to hunt waterfowl at Broadford Lake provides a new hunting opportunity for resident and non-resident hunters,” said Wildlife and Heritage Service Director Paul Peditto. “The hunt will expand our efforts to reduce conflicts with geese at Deep Creek Lake and nearby communities.”

Maryland hunters can apply to hunt one of two ground-blind sites or one open-water site at Broadford Lake or one of three open-water sites at Deep Creek Lake. Blinds may be reserved up to four days in advance.
