About This Access Site
Bowleys Marina offers convenient access to Middle River and the greater Chesapeake Bay system from a full-service facility in Baltimore County. Located at a strategic "Point" position on Middle River, the marina provides direct paddling and boating access to this tidal waterway and makes it possible to venture out into the Chesapeake Bay. The site is easily accessible via I-95 from the Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia regions, making it a practical launch point for both day trips and longer excursions.

As a full-service resort marina, Bowleys offers amenities beyond basic boat ramp access, including fuel, floating docks, slip rentals, and mechanical services on-site. While primarily a marina facility, it welcomes transient boaters and paddlers. The location on tidal Middle River means water levels and conditions vary with tide cycles—typical considerations for this area of the Chesapeake watershed. Paddlers should plan accordingly and be aware of tidal currents, particularly when venturing toward open bay waters.
