Tracys Creek

Highlight • River

Tracy's Creek is one of the three waterways that converge in Herring Creek. It runs for approximately one mile, starting from the S.R. 256 Bridge and flowing towards Herrington Harbour North. This waterway offers a great opportunity to see many pleasure crafts harbored in the marina as you pass by.

Herring Bay

Highlight • Beach

A vast bay on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US.

You can find over 300 species of fish, shellfish and crabs as well as ospreys, peregrine falcons and bald eagles here. The waters are also an important nursery area for sharks on the east coast – hammerhead sharks, basking sharks and tiger sharks often visit. Dolphins and whales can be seen here too. It's a paradise for nature lovers.

Patuxent River Park

Highlight • River

The tidal marshes, swamps, and forests of Patuxent River Park are home to diverse wildlife, flora and fauna. You can cruise down the river on a boat or in a kayak or explore the area on its network of hiking trails. Head up to the observation tower to look out for the many birds that call the area home.

The park has a rich history and culture. You can visit a replica American Indian village and learn about the traditions of Maryland's indigenous peoples. The Patuxent Rural Life Museums with its blacksmith shop and tobacco farming museum is also fascinating.
