About This Access Site
Otter Creek Marina offers a public boat launch ramp providing convenient access to the Bush River in Harford County. Located at the tip of the Bush River just minutes from Bel Air and easily accessible from Baltimore, this full-service marina is an ideal starting point for paddlers and boaters exploring the river and nearby Chesapeake Bay. The facility is situated only a short distance upstream from the central Chesapeake Bay, making it suitable for various water activities.

Beyond the launch ramp, Otter Creek Marina provides comprehensive boater services including fuel docks, pump-out stations, boat storage, and maintenance facilities. These amenities make the site practical for both day trips and longer outings. The marina caters to a range of vessel sizes and types, from small boats and personal watercraft to larger recreational vessels.

To reach the boat ramp from Route 1, head toward Otter Point Road and follow directional signs near the Anita C. Leight Estuary Center. Whether you're launching a kayak for a leisurely paddle or preparing for a longer expedition toward the Chesapeake Bay, Otter Creek Marina provides the access and support services needed for a successful outing on the Bush River.
