This was the final place that we checked out for the day. It was the Public Park at the Port of Leonardtown. It is at the foot of Route 326,Washington Street. It was the most kayak friendly of the places so far. There was a big parking lot, a short walk to the launch ramp, and they even had bathrooms! That is a plus.
There was a ramp, which you can see in the photos. It is a floating dock. It was designed to launch from. The water in the Bay was pretty calm. There were a number of other kayakers out there. The water is also used by speed boats and jet skis. On this particular day, we witnessed that the speed boats had little regard for the kayakers. Instead of slowing down as they passed them, they sped up and created waves. This is a maritime no no, but was done none the less. Something to be aware of.
This was the nicest location we found today and have made plans to make it our next outing!
Very good review of the kayaking potential.
