What visitors say
Mostly positiveSelbys Landing offers a paved boat ramp with plenty of parking and porta potties, though the hard ramp requires wet entry/exit for kayaks and lacks dedicated space for kayak setup at the water's edge. The small pier can get crowded on weekends but is peaceful on weekdays, and the surrounding park features natural trails, wildlife viewing opportunities, and scenic access to the Patuxent River and Jug Bay. Fishing is productive here, with visitors reporting good catches of catfish.
