It’s not often where improving something causes your heart to sink. The St Mary’s County commissioners put $250K into the budget to improve the Clarks Landing launch by rebuilding the ramp and adding a finger pier and floating dock. What they aren’t doing is adding any more parking. For those unfamiliar with this situation you can park perhaps 7 cars with trailers on a good day. Right now the launch is rustic and only small jon boats or kayaks can reasonably launch there (although I have seen a few brave souls who don’t care about their boat bottom launch larger boats). Improvement to the launch will bring bigger boats so that number could drop to 5 or 6 spots, assuming that no other cars are there for crabbing or fishing off the dock. What was a spot you could count on being able to launch most anytime will become much more of a crap shoot, whether you car top or trailer your kayak.
Construction will begin in about 26 weeks, so they will be there most of the summer and most likely the launch will be closed during that time. When it reopens I’m hosting a block party and putting a chain and lock at the entrance
