Maryland Department of Natural Resources issued the following announcement on June 15.
Summer is a great time to get out and explore the many water trails across Maryland. Check out some of our favorite spots to paddle!
Point Lookout State Park is the southern-most point on the Western Shore, where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay. You are surrounded by water on three sides, making it ideal for both beautiful sunrises and sunsets! Lake Canoy at Point Lookout is a wonderful place for a canoe, kayak or paddleboard, especially when you want to be a bit more sheltered. Although it is not actually a lake as the name suggests, it is a shallow body of water connected to the Potomac River, near the park's boat launch. You can launch directly from the boat launch or from behind the park store where there is a small sandy spot off the parking lot. The Park Store also rents kayaks, canoes and paddleboards, but call ahead for hours. You can also launch directly from the campground if you happen have one of the very popular waterfront campsites in the Green's Loop of the park's campground. Campsites can be booked up to one year in advanced, and are quite popular on weekends during the summer. If you have the option to visit during the week, or in September/early October, it's a bit less busy and often the weather is still very nice!
