Hello all,
Good news. The 38 year overdue ribbon cutting for Beverly Triton Nature Park south of Annapolis in Anne Arundel County is at 11 am on Friday, May 5, 2023. Please come.
Invite: http://events.r20.constantcontact.co...a54376e46&view Type=MOBILE
We've been working hard on Beverly Triton since June 2013 when I couldn't find an open park gate at Beverly Triton because there
wasn't one. Eight of us launched our kayaks the next Saturday from SERC to paddle 4 miles to Beverly Triton and see what was there. We found
a mile of sandy beach and a 344 acre "public park" that had been closed to the general public since 1985. By October 2013 we persuaded the county
to open the park gate. Planning for improvements began. Beverly Triton was set to go to construction in early 2019
and then the county slow rolled it in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Getting the park across the finish line (again) (again) (again) three times in
three years makes me wary of declaring victory before the bathrooms open-BUT there's the ribbon cutting invite in the link above.
I'm cautiously optimistic that after 38 years the promised publicswimming beach at Beverly Triton will open in 2023.
Please join the celebration. If you're bringing your yak please come early and get unloaded by 10 am to miss the official set up chaos. I have not seen the new kayak launch
- it was fenced off behind construction tape last Sunday - so bring your wheels just in case.
Please spread the word. See you Friday
