Fox Hole Landing puts boaters directly onto the Sassafras River, a tidal tributary of the Chesapeake Bay known for good rockfish and white perch fishing, quiet paddling water, and scenic shoreline near Galena and Georgetown. The river connects downstream to the wider Chesapeake, making this a workable launch point for both river trips and Bay-bound excursions.
Best suited for: Local anglers and small boat owners looking for a low-key, no-frills access point to the Sassafras River rather than a full-service marina experience.
What visitors say
Mixed reviewsFox Hole Landing offers easy access and a gentle put-in suitable for beginners and kayakers, with no restroom facilities and limited parking width that can become congested. Water depths are shallow (3-4 inches at low tide), especially north of the landing, so tide checking is essential before paddling. The area has limited break spots due to private waterfront, shallow water north of the ramp, and heavy powerboat and jet ski traffic during weekends and summer months.
