Hawkeye Campground
Hawkeye Campground
Frank Bentz Memorial Lake is a small, wadeable pond in Thurmont where anglers can easily access the water by wading to the middle of the lake, making it ideal for fly fishing and casting throughout the entire area.
The lake sits where Big Hunting Creek flows in, providing a scenic setting that becomes busy during stocking season but offers good fishing opportunities during late spring and early summer when mayfly hatches occur.
