Other Annapolis Locations

Annapolis Maritime Museum – Fishing is permitted off three piers. There is also a spacious picnic deck to enjoy lunch in the sunshine.

Jonas and Anne Catharine Green Park – Once the Naval Academy Bridge was built across the Severn River, part of the old bridge was left to serve as a public fishing pier. A fishing license is not required because it is a state “free fishing” area.

Quiet Waters Park – This park located in Annapolis is thought to be the best park in the county. Families can enjoy various sporting activities, including fishing.

Sandy Point State Park – Located on the Chesapeake Bay at the Bay Bridge’s western end, this Maryland state park is a wonderful place for fishing.

Thomas Point Park – This peaceful, intimate bayfront park is available only by special permit available through Quiet Waters Park above.
