Merritt Park

Merritt Park offers free public access to Bullneck Creek via a two-lane boat ramp located at 7800 Dunmanway in Dundalk. The facility is well-suited for both motorized vessels and paddle sports, with a dedicated soft launch area for kayaks and canoes. The ramp can accommodate large vessels (16+ feet), making it a versatile access point for various watercraft. Parking is available at no charge, and the site is easily accessed from the Merritt Boulevard and Dunmanway intersection, approximately 0.6 miles southeast into the park.

Bullneck Creek is a tidal waterway that provides a scenic paddling opportunity in the Baltimore County area. Kayakers and canoeists will find manageable conditions suitable for recreational paddling. The nearby Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail and Baltimore National Heritage Area offer opportunities to explore sites connected to the region's rich War of 1812 and Chesapeake Bay heritage. All boaters are requested to exit the park by closing time, and basic amenities including restrooms and drinking water are available on-site.
