About This Access Site
Tall Timbers Landing is a public boat ramp providing access to McKay Cove in St. Mary's County, Maryland. Located in the Tall Timbers area, this facility offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring the local waterways. The ramp includes parking and is open to non-motorized and motorized vessels, making it a practical option for paddlers of varying experience levels.

The site's proximity to notable recreation areas—including the Navy Recreation Center at Solomons and Naval Air Station Patuxent River—places it in a scenic region of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Before launching, paddlers should check local conditions and tide information through Maryland DNR resources, and be aware of any restrictions related to nearby military installations. As with all Maryland public boat ramps, current regulations and parking requirements may apply, so it's worth contacting local authorities or checking the Maryland Online Water Access Guide for the most up-to-date details on amenities and access policies.
