Holiday Hill Marina

Holiday Hill Marina in Edgewater provides boat launch access to Whitemarsh Creek, a tidal waterway that feeds into the Rhode River system and ultimately connects to the Chesapeake Bay. Located just 8 miles from Annapolis, this family-owned marina offers a quiet, peaceful paddling environment ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking calm waters. The creek provides excellent access to the broader Chesapeake Bay estuary system, one of the most productive bodies of water in the United States.

This is primarily a sailboat-friendly facility with 145 slips, but offers launch access for various watercraft. Paddlers should expect a relaxed atmosphere without high-speed boat traffic, making it suitable for recreational kayaking and canoeing. The tidal nature of Whitemarsh Creek means water conditions and paddling difficulty will vary with tide cycles. Before launching, check current conditions and tide times to plan your route safely. The proximity to the Chesapeake Bay Maryland National Estuarine Research Reserve makes this an excellent jumping-off point for exploring one of the region's most ecologically significant waterways.
