Jenkins Creek Wharf

Jenkins Creek Wharf in Crisfield offers pier and boat ramp access to Jenkins Creek, a medium-sized stream in Somerset County's Atlantic Coastal Plain. The facility is managed by the Somerset County Roads Department (410-651-1930) and provides water access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This is a practical launch point for exploring the creek and nearby waterways in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Jenkins Creek is a moderately-sized waterway with an 18.95-mile total length and relatively active flow averaging 13.62 cubic feet per second. The creek has a notable gradient of 29.9 feet per mile, indicating steady current and some water movement—particularly important for paddlers to note when planning trips. As a headwater stream in its upper reaches, conditions may vary seasonally, so check water levels before launching.

For additional boating access in the area, the nearby Peter's Creek Boat Ramp (also managed by Somerset County Roads) at Champ offers marina amenities including docking, pump-out services, and restroom facilities. Contact the Somerset County Roads Department for current conditions, parking details, and any seasonal access information.
