Situated between Fredericktown and Georgetown, the Georgetown Bridge is where Maryland 213 crosses over the Sassafras. The Georgetown Bridge is claimed to be one of the busiest drawbridges in the country. Near the bridge are multiple marinas, restaurants, and shops. A few hundred yards downstream from the bridge are anchorage and mooring locations and waterfront beaches for swimming that can be accessed by boat. There are public boat launches including Fredericktown Landing which has a long cement ramp. A permit is required for launching motorized boats but not for kayaks. Many of the marinas have restrooms, waterfront beaches, and short-term docking.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests at least 95% of the time
