What visitors say
Mixed reviewsForest Landing is a low-key public boat ramp with good concrete conditions that provides access to a shallow creek flowing to the Patuxent River, offering scenic wildlife viewing including blue herons and cardinals. Parking is limited, and the ramp can get congested with inexperienced boaters during peak times. The shallow water near the ramp is suitable for fishing in weeds, though deeper water access requires traveling farther out.
