Best Places To Paddle Around Baltimore
Wondering where to launch your board around Baltimore??
We may be biased, but we believe that Maryland has some of the most scenic paddling destinations on the East Coast. Whether you are looking for rivers, creeks or the ocean….we have it all! We often get asked what our favorite spots to paddle are, so we thought we’d share a few of our not-so-secret favorite SUP launch spots. In this post we will focus on Baltimore City and County, and if we left off one of your favorites, please let us know! We’d love to hear where you launch your boards!
Baltimore City:
Many people are hesitant to paddle on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, but we think it is one of the most special paddle destinations in Maryland. Seeing Baltimore city via stand up paddle board will change your perspective of our city. But, where is the best place to launch?
Canton Water Park at The Korean War Memorial- 2903 Boston St. (Canton, MD):
The Canton Waterfront Park has a public boat launch which is the perfect spot to launch your board. Once on the water it is approximately 2 miles to the Inner Harbor. Another great paddle is to go straight across the harbor and paddle around Ft. McHenry. Just note that in the summer boat traffic can be quite heavy in the Inner Harbor so we prefer to go right at sunrise to get that glassy harbor paddle.
