I wish I could give 3.5 stars on Yelp! This was a good, but not absolutely amazing spot.
Overall, I liked Chesapeake Paddle Sports and it is a good spot for a quick kayak. We were coming up from the Upper Marlboro area and luckily were able to get a spot last minute for later in the afternoon. After I booked online, someone messaged me saying nobody would be at the tent when I was going to arrive and they left two kayaks for me and my SO at the dock.
I am glad I have experience with kayaks and knew how to move / launch them (without falling in!). The dock has a great launch spot into it. Unfortunately, the seats were a little worn and there were no life jackets available to us. The kayaking area is in a marina so there are boats coming around - if you're not used to some waves in the water, this is not the spot for you.
Overall, would not recommend for absolute beginner kayakers but we had a nice time on a last minute kayak adventure. read more
