  • Greenbury Point Annapolis Public Water Access

    Hi all,

    There an opportunity for public water access at Greenbury Point in Annapolis. We have our eye on Reach G on Mill Creek on this photo. We're doing a recon hike on Sunday 2/8/15 at 10 am. Come take a hike. Details below the photo. Thanks, Lisa

    ==================================

    Explore the Navy's Greenbury Point Conservation Area with the Anne Arundel Public Water Access Committee at 10 am this Sunday, February 8, 2015. We have a narrow window of opportunity to ask for public water access as part of shoreline restoration at this federal facility. Public comments are due February 27, 2015.

    Greenbury Point is where the Severn River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The three Greenbury radio towers across the river from Annapolis and the Naval Academy are a landmark. Greenbury's 231 acres at the mouth of the Severn are a favorite public spot for birdwatching, hiking and running. The Navy intends to repair 28,000 linear feet of badly eroded Greenbury shoreline. We will explore Greenbury and see how boat ramps, kayak launches and other public water access could fit into the shoreline restoration.

    Meet at the Greenbury Nature Center at 265 Bullard Blvd, Annapolis, MD at 10 am on Sunday, 2/8/15. From Annapolis, take the 450 Naval Academy Bridge north across the Severn. After you cross the bridge, take Route 648 North. Keep right at the intersection of 648 North and Greenbury Point Road. Go past the golf course and the brigade sports complex on your left and you’ll see the Nature Center on the right.

    The weather forecast for Sunday is 50 degrees and sunny. Come take a hike along the water with us.

        Will do. Ralph Heimlich from the Chesapeake Paddlers Association posted the whole document on his personal website for us:

        At 7+ MB it is too big to email around.

          Reach G seems fairly difficult to access with the golf course, NAPS, and driving range adjacent to its shoreline. Reach F already has a great access point(s) but it would need to be made public.

          Good news either way - thanks for all your efforts.
