Ellen O. Moyer Nature Park at Back Creek

Great " secret " park in Annapolis. At the end of Edgewood Road. Bring your dog on a leash. Launch your kayak or paddle board, enjoy the forest.

Beautiful place

A very small park on Edgewood Road in Annapolis. Its high hill provides a good view, and proximity to the harbor provides habitat for many birds, which is my principal interest in this park. There's a few tables and I've never seen it crowded.

This is a nice little park and a rare public water-access site within Annapolis city limits. There are 2 parking areas connected by a nature trail through the woods. The smaller parking area is near the dock and boat launch ramp, & has just a few spaces. The other parking area is much bigger but further away. There are picnic tables and a water fountain, but no bathrooms, at the boat launch area. If there are bathrooms at the other end of the park, I didn't see them. The boat ramp is non-slip metal, so you won't get muddy launching a kayak here. The park is in the midst of several marinas full of very fancy and impressive yachts & sailboats, and near side creeks lined with beautiful waterfront homes to sight-see. Not much wildlife to see, other than ducks, as this is a very built-up area with a lot of human activity.
