About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Rhode River Marina is a family-owned facility located in Edgewater, Anne Arundel County, offering boat ramp access to the Rhode River. The marina is conveniently situated for paddlers and boaters from the Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington DC areas, with easy land access from major routes.

**What to Expect**
This is a protected, calm-water access point ideal for kayakers and canoeists. The Rhode River provides a gateway to the larger Chesapeake Bay system—one of the most productive estuaries in the United States. The marina offers a quiet, sheltered setting for launching smaller watercraft and exploring the Rhode River's gentle waters before potentially venturing into the broader Chesapeake Bay. In addition to boat ramp access, the marina also provides wet slip moorings and DIY service operations if you need support for your vessel.

**Recreation Opportunities**
Paddlers can explore the protected Rhode River waters and have bridge-free access to the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the U.S. The area is part of the Chesapeake Bay Maryland National Estuarine Research Reserve, offering excellent opportunities for paddling, wildlife viewing, and fishing in this highly productive ecosystem.
