Today was a lot of fun and a gorgeous day to be on the water. I first want to start by giving a…read morehuge shout out to Jessie for being the real MVP! Jessie answered all of my emails and was super happy to be more than accommodating. I originally was scheduled to stand up paddleboard on Saturday, however, the weather was miserable and not a good day to be in the water in my opinion so I emailed and asked if I could just have a rain check. She emailed back and said it would be no problem! My daughter and I showed up today a little before 11 and everything was literally laid out for us. Jesse gave my daughter and I clear instructions. We headed down the grass to meet with Dave who helped us get on our boards and off. We went. The water at sparrows point was very calm and literally perfect for stand-up paddle boarding. My daughter and I had the very best time today and I definitely plan on coming back and would recommend this fun activity for anyone Mahalo Jesse for being a wonderful a responding to all of my questions in email:) My family and I will be back!

My friend and I went on Saturday and had a perfect day with warm weather and no wind. The water was calm and very easy to paddle board on. We chose to rent the paddle boards without an instructor as we've gone many times before, but they also offer lessons, tours, and fitness classes. At the end of our one hour session, the instructors helped us off our boards and offered us slices of watermelon when we went to return our paddles. They have their own parking lot so that you don't have to worry about finding and space and they have an area where you can leave your belongings while you paddle.

I know that sometimes I learn a little differently than the average person and Cheddar listened to what I had to say and was able to tailor the experience to something that worked best for me and my brain. I came away from the lesson feeling more confident and excited about a future that includes some whitewater kayaking. I'm excited to keep learning with Potomac Paddlesports and next time I want to arrange a private lesson I will definitely request Cheddar as my instructor. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Even with my paddleboard exploding when inflating, it was a wonderful trip. The park entrance is fee-free, and there is plenty of parking just a few feet away from kayak launches, a small dock with rental kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddle boards. Cramming myself and my friend into our single remaining inflatable kayak worked out great. The Potomac has a lazy flow at the fastest, and there is a large area with little movement that makes lazy drifting easy and perfect for kids and those looking for more relaxation than paddling. Absolutely great spot to go after work or with the family on weekends!

I have run many races, from 5k parkruns to half marathons, that start at Fletcher's Boathouse or go…read morepast. The Canal Tow Path is terrific: flat, smooth, straight, soft, and scenic. I am writing for three reasons. I have revised this review, because my description of the parking was only partly accurate. That is due to my stupidity, looking primarily in the summer -- I was able to perceive more clearly when the leaves were off the trees, in the winter. I just came back from the venue moments ago. So I can be much more clear. First, there are two parking lots. There is a tiny one right there. I would not count on it. The one time, I flew on a redeye flight just as the pandemic was ending, to run a half marathon. I am not in the shape needed to do that anymore. I arrived maybe 6am. That meant I could find a space and take a quick nap. But fifty feet down the dirt road is a tunnel. It is so cramped you might not believe your car will fit. But that is what it is for. A sedan will do fine; an oversize SUV, maybe not. It's also two way with room for only one car width. This passage leads across the canal. There is a much bigger parking lot. I have had good luck. I would bet it fills up on busy days later in the morning, but in the 7am range it's half empty. Usually, I Uber to this destination or I park in the neighborhood, and walk the remaining half mile. Second, the turn into the parking lot is tight. I cannot describe it. It'd be easier to draw a diagram. It's more than two roads meeting; the angles also are oblique. People don't understand how the intersection works. That is aggravating. I try not to be judgmental. Probably there will be an accident sometime, and that will lead to reform. My wife refuses to drive down here. The narrowness of the sidewalk renders it dangerous for pedestrians. Please, be careful. Third, they have restrooms. They are kept clean. This is a huge boon. I am always on the lookout for public restrooms of high quality. I share for the benefit of all.
