The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and Charles County have created a new water trails map and guide to lead paddlers along at least four water trail adventures in Charles County.
The guide, printed on waterproof and tear-proof paper, was designed primarily for those touring by kayak and canoe.
It details several water paddling routes along Mallows Bay, Friendship Farm Park, Mattawoman Creek, and the Potomac and Port Tobacco rivers.
DNR produced the new map, ‘‘Water Trail Adventures in Charles County, Maryland: the Wild Side of the Potomac River,” in partnership with the Charles County Parks Department and the Charles County Department of Economic Development and Tourism.
‘‘The Water Trail Adventures guide is a wonderful resource for people who wish to learn more about Charles County’s rich natural resources,” said Donna Dudley, the county’s chief of tourism, in the release. ‘‘The guide offers information about natural, historic and cultural places that can be found on and nearby the trails.”
The new free guide is available at www.thenationsbackyard.com. A free mailed copy may be requested by calling 800-766-3386.
