Jackson Creek Landing#  (Queen Anne's County, MD)

      
FIGS. 1A & 1B Aerial Views of the Jackson Creek Launch Area

Take US 50 East from DC thru Annapolis and over 
Bay Bridge.  Then cross the bridge leaving Kent island.  Get off on exit
43B Chester River Beach Road.  Turn left at the end of the exit ramp 
and cross over US 50.  Turn left onto Sadler road just beyond
 entrance ramp for US 50 West.  Travel 1/2 mile on Sadler road to Holly's
Restaurant. Make a right hand turn at Holley's restaurant
onto Jackson Creek Road.  Follow 800 feet to an end.

 	Beach faces N into mouth of Chester River. Several miles of open
 water.  Peninsula on left (i.e., west) sticks out much farther than
 peninsula on right (east).  Therefore, best winds are NNW CW to East.
  Excellent site for beginners.

	Site can be susceptible to excessive submerged aquatic
 vegetation in summer and fall. When tide is low, must walk out
 several hundred feet to find deep enough water.

	Technically, permit is needed just to park there.  Can not pay
 at site.  Although permit is issued by the government, it is easiest
 to buy one from a commercial vendor.  Most convenient one I found
 is Angler’s on the south side of US 50 (exit 30) shortly before crossing
 the bay bridge onto Kent island.  http://www.anglerssportcenter.com/.
