What visitors say
Mixed reviewsBrowns Landing is a soft launch on Cox Creek suitable for kayaks, canoes, and SUPs, with peaceful water access. The ramp has limited parking spaces and requires a permit ($10 for Maryland residents, $15 for out-of-state visitors). Shallow water in Cox Creek can force boats toward the middle, which may create navigation challenges during busier times.
