Fishing pier, boat launch, picnic tables, rental pavilions, playgrounds, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits. There is a rental charge for the pavilions. Just south of the busy I-95 and US 40 corridor in southern Harford County, between Edgewood and Aberdeen, is the sensitive ecosystem of Otter Point Creek, which joins Bush River at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. The reserve is one of three in Maryland that are part of the national reserve system. There is limited access to the conservancy, but it is a good place to see beaver, songbirds, waterfowl, and wildflowers.
Interpretive programs are available by request.
The county has a public boat landing at nearby Otter Point Landing. At Leight Park is the new Anita C. Leight Estuary Center where the staff is putting together exhibits about the Chesapeake Bay and its environs. The center, open year-round on weekends, has a discovery room with interactive displays and live animals, a library, an auditorium, and a laboratory. Nature trails and canoe trails on the reserve provide access to a diversity of upper Chesapeake Bay habitats including creeks, rivers, lagoons, tidal marshes, scrub and shrub wetlands, and forested uplands a diversity that attracts a tremendous variety of birds and wildlife. Spring warblers travel from Central and South America to nest in the park s forests.
