Leonardtown, MD – Following nearly two months of work, the Department of Recreation and Parks is set to cut the ribbon on recent improvements at the Clarke’s Landing boat ramp. A ceremony to unveil the enhancements has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, at 11 a.m.
A new boat ramp, floating dock and parking improvements are part of the project. St. Mary’s County paid $273,067 to complete the work.
“One of the goals of the newly adopted 2017 Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan is to continue to expand opportunities for water access and waterfront recreation throughout the county,” said Arthur Shepherd, Recreation and Parks Director. “We are thankful for the funding which enabled Recreation and Parks to make improvements at this popular water access point along the Patuxent River.”
The Clarke’s Landing boat ramp is located at 45417 Clarke’s Landing Road in Hollywood, Md.
