A public meeting was held on Thursday, October 23, 2025 to discuss design, permitting and construction of a water access facility at Valentine Creek Park in Anne Arundel County. You can still provide your input on the proposed work and schedule.
Valentine Creek is a proposed new public water access point on the south shore of the Severn River in Crownsville, MD. It would be the only public water access point on the mid and upper Severn. The nearest public water access points are Jonas Green Park (6.5 miles) and the Weems Creek / Tucker Street boat ramp (7.5 miles). Valentine Creek faces strong and organized opposition from the neighbors, who want to block the park entirely. Submit your comments now!
