Lake Maude allows for much public access. A public boat ramp is on the south shore, just off Avenue O Northeast. The Lake Maude Nature Park is located along the entire east shore of the lake. The nature park has a paved walking trail, 0.9 miles (1.4 km) long, picnic facilities, a playground, two public fishing piers and a nature observation deck.
