Paddling near College Park, MD


Sitting in Prince George's County, College Park puts paddlers within about 3 miles of the Bladensburg put-in for the Anacostia Water Trail — a tidal, all-skill-levels run reaching the Potomac. Roughly 20 miles southeast, the Patuxent River and its 1,700-acre Jug Bay marsh anchor the county's marquee flatwater touring, part of a 115-mile water trail.
