Penningtons Point

Penningtons Point offers public boat access to the Sasafras River in Georgetown, Cecil County, Maryland. This launch site serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to explore the scenic upper Chesapeake Bay tributary. The Sasafras is a tidal river known for its calm, navigable waters and natural shoreline, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels.

Facilities at this ramp are basic, with limited amenities typical of a public access point. Parking is available nearby, though space may be limited during peak seasons. Paddlers should note that this is a tidal waterway, so water levels and current conditions vary throughout the day—checking tide tables before your visit is recommended. The river offers excellent opportunities for exploring marshes, coves, and wooded banks, particularly for those seeking a quieter paddling experience away from heavy motorized traffic.
