  • Anne Arundel County Water Access Update

    Hi all

    *Homeport Farm Park is officially open. The old entrance farm lane is closed. The new entrance is off the small traffic circle on Homeport Drive right off of Route 2. For now the road down to the parking area is a dirt road. And right now it doesn't look like a dirt road, it looks like a very wide mowed path through the field and down the hill. Go ahead and drive on it.

    *Shady Side Park: there will be a ribbon cutting for the water access point. Date TBD. In the meantime the water access point is open so go ahead and use it. I've launched out of Shady Side Park twice. You can reach the beaches of Shady Cove Natural Area from Shady Side Park. There is no land access planned for Shady Cove Natural Area.

    *Weinberg Park will open on a limited schedule in the near future. Date & details TBD.

    *Spriggs Farm Park: We can not yet drive into the lower level of Spriggs Farm Park. We can land at Spriggs. We can also use the roadside parking area in the upper level of Spriggs near the Spriggs Farmhouse and whatever roadside parking we can find outside the park near the lower level.

    Mayo Beach Park: There will be 5 open days at Mayo Beach Park this summer. The dates are August 3rd, August 17th, September 17th, September 21 and October 5th.

    Thomas Point Park: no changes yet in land access. Although the county is planning on changing land access, no decisions have been made on how do to make land access changes.

    Swimming: the county is probably changing it's "No Swimming" policy. Details TBD.

        Thanks to all of you who have emailed and called the county and asked for more water access and have come to the Water Access Committee meetings. It's a group effort.

        Wednesday, August 13, 2014 is the next Anne Arundel County Water Access Committee meeting.

        We meet at 6 pm in the DPW building at 445 Maxwell Frye Road, Millersville MD 21108. WAC meetings are free and open to the public.

        Please come and please spread the word.

        We've been going to Gina's Cantina down the road for tacos and follow-up after the meetings.

          Lisa, thanks so much! Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Also, I can give a thumbs up to Gina's for 2.50$ Sol and cheap tacos. Great atmosphere too.
