Marshy Point Nature Center

The Marshy Point Nature Center is an unspoiled setting to appreciate the seasonal changes along the Chesapeake Bay and discover the Bay's central role in Baltimore County life. The park includes about eight miles of trails, including three self-guided nature trails, a self-guided paddle trail on Dundee Creek and a paved accessible trail. The Kayak Share Program and Canoe and Kayak Launch provide water accessibility.
