Trappe Landing

Trappe Landing is a small public boat ramp providing access to La Trappe Creek and the Choptank River in Talbot County, Maryland. The facility features a modest ramp with parking for approximately 8 vehicles, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. Despite residential development along the creek, this waterway is known for its scenic character compared to other developed creeks in the area.

**Practical Information for Paddlers:** The landing operates under Talbot County management and enforces standard rules including closure hours between 11 pm and 4 am. This is a carry-in, carry-out facility with a $100 littering fine. Vehicles should not block the ramp, and all trash must be removed. The site provides access to both the creek and the larger Choptank River, offering paddlers options for both sheltered creek exploration and open water paddling.

**Nearby Recreation:** Trappe Landing's location near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument makes it an excellent base for combining water-based recreation with cultural and natural history exploration in Maryland's Eastern Shore region.
