Important kayak Tour Update

Spring and Early summer Kayak Tours are currently being offered on the Youghiogheny Reservoir and The Jennings-Randolph Lake (MAP) . This is due to dam problems at the Savage Reservoir and unusually low lake levels.

Jennings-Randolph: This quiet undeveloped lake has it's own eagles and shoreside nest. We love it and it's only ten minutes farther than the Savage. Larger lake with swimming allowed! For folks who have paddled with us on the Savage Rez this is new water that's really great!

Youghiogheny Reservoir: In the early season we can access the bird sanctuary and paddle up the calm river for a good distance. Trip formats vary and two-hour options are available. Call for Details. Bald Eagles Too!!!

Jenning Randolph

Format and EVERYTHING is the SAME for Jennings Randolph Tours (above picture). There are motor boats but very very few. There are some great park like shorelines for the awesome backcountry picnics we are famous for.
A BONUS ----- swimming is allowed!!!


Trip Description
The beautiful and undeveloped Savage River Reservoir and Jennings Randolph Lake are the places where the All Earth Eco Kayaking Trips are offered. These large winding lakes are beautiful, quiet, and in the heart of the region’s tallest and most pristine mountains.

Savage Rez Info

The two highest mountains in the State, Big Savage Mountain and Backbone Mountain meet at the Reservoir Dam. This area boasts ABSOLUTELY NO powerlines, and very little man-made noise except the birds and the wind, and the occassional vehicle on the lonely road along its shore.

One side of the reservoir is within the Big Savage Mountain Wildlands and the rest is Savage State Forest and Big Run State Park. We often see the nesting pair of American Bald Eagles and their juvenile fledglings, deer, , loons, blue herons, green herons, red tailed hawks, vultures, and bear sign.

All Earth Eco Kayak Tours are a great experience for folks of all ages interested in trying out flatwater kayak touring.

What You Will Do: We start you off right with a brief dry land kayak lesson and kayaking class on technique, safety, and equipment.

We then take a tour on the lake, and make a stop on Big Savage Pine Swamp Point for a scenic picnic. After lunch we stretch and often take a short (optional) side hike (uphill) to a beautiful view overlooking the water and forested mountains. We then kayak back to Dry Run Cove.

The lake is calm enough and un-crowded so the group can spread out with no danger of being run over by a motorboat or tipped by big wakes. The uncrowded atmosphere on the lake means that some folks can paddle a lot and explore the shorelines and coves, and some can just float and relax, and watch the eagles soar. There's no pressure to travel far or keep up. Total time in the boats is about 2-2½ hours.

Quiet water, and stupendous views and scenery make this trip a must see for Garrett County 1st time or lifetime visitors.

Wildlife is spotted on almost every trip. The Bald Eagles have even been seen fishing and catching fish on the wing right in front of the trip

Important Weather Note
Trips Run Rain or Shine. You are expected to show up at the Dry Run put-in regardless of the weather. Scattered thunderstorms can pretty much be the weather pattern all summer. Guide carries a rain tarp to cover lunch and a little rain is always refreshing. The weather at the Lake is not a good indicator of the weather at the reservoir since the reservoir is 700 feet below Deep Creek Lake in elevation and at times DCL is in the clouds and rainy and the reservoir is below the clouds and just overcast.

Misty Mountains

All this beauty and serenity...
ONLY 20 minutes from Deep Creek Lake!!!!
Don't be afraid we specialize in beginners of all ages!
We Have Double Kayaks too!
