Ragged Point Marina offers a convenient public boat launch on Brooks Creek, a scenic waterway off the Little Choptank River in Cambridge. The facility features a wide single launching lane and parking for approximately 20 boat trailers, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Portable restrooms are available on-site. The ramp is operated by Dorchester County Department of Public Works – Highway Division.
**Practical Tips for Paddlers:** Free parking appears to be available, though permit requirements are unclear—it's worth checking locally before your trip. Cell service can be spotty in the area, particularly until you round Ragged Point, so plan accordingly. Brooks Creek offers access to beautiful natural areas, including proximity to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, a premier destination for wildlife viewing and paddling along the Atlantic Flyway. The relatively calm, protected waters of Brooks Creek make it ideal for recreational kayaking and canoeing.
