DESCRIPTION:
Discover this 1.2 mile out and back trail near Baltimore, Maryland. This route is suitable for experienced paddlers and is generally considered a moderately challenging route. Paddlers are likely to encounter wildlife along this route and it is a good trail for birdwatching. The best times to visit are May through October. Paddlers can launch from Baltimore Peninsula or Ferry Bar Park.
The Baltimore Peninsula Trail is a perimeter paddle that wraps around the Baltimore Peninsula from the Sagamore Spirit Distillery to the east to Nick’s Fish House to the west. In the middle of these two points sits Ferry Bar Park, a public park with a soft launch beach. To avoid conflicts with the Maryland Cruise Terminal, the trail does not continue east to Fort McHenry. Recent redevelopment has created a kayak access point at the Baltimore Peninsula site. A rental company will begin operations in Summer 2023.
