Paul Ellis Landing

Paul Ellis Landing provides public boat access to Whites Neck Creek, a tributary that flows into the Potomac River near the Wicomico River mouth in St. Mary's County, Maryland. This modest facility features a single narrow launching lane (note: muddy conditions likely during wet seasons), a courtesy dock, and parking for approximately 4-5 boat trailers. The landing has no restrooms on-site.

This access point is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists exploring the lower Potomac region. Several islands—including Bullock Island—are located nearby and make for interesting paddling destinations. Keep in mind that the ramp is closed between sunset and sunrise (except for loading/unloading), and users should avoid blocking the ramp, parked vehicles, bulkheads, or pier access. The narrow launch area and muddy conditions suggest this is best suited for smaller watercraft and paddlers comfortable with modest facilities.
