Founded: July 14, 2009

People often tell me they are unclear how to get access to area waterways and don't know where to find a kayak or even a boat launch. People also express intense curiosity about the job of a Riverkeeper and about what is being done to protect the Bay and its tributaries. This newly formed group meets to explore the Patuxent River corridor and learn about regional ecology and history. We also explore solutions to the natural resource problems facing the State's longest and deepest intrastate waterway that runs through seven urbanizing Counties. The group is hosted by the Patuxent Riverkeeper. Join if you like being outdoors and enjoy physical activity.

  “What is better than to enjoy some "active" socializing!! I have a kayak but my only stumbling block now is figuring out how to transport it to the drop in point with my G35...we will see”

  “I thought it'd be nice to join, should your activities come out to western Maryland - or - if I should ever get out your way. My most recent purchase was a Hobie Adventure Island, but I have other SOT kayaks, too. (Are any SOTs in your group now?)”
