Navigating the Water
Use NOAA Charts 12283 and 12282.
Annapolis is located up the Severn River from the Chesapeake Bay. The city technically lies on both Spa and Back creeks, and both are home to an expansive marine industry.
Flashing red 4 marks the approach to Annapolis from the Severn River. Once you have cleared this mark, follow the series of lit and unlit buoys into Spa or Back creeks. Spa Creek is home to downtown Annapolis, while Back Creek has a number of large marinas, most of which accept transients. Downtown Annapolis is accessible from the north side of Back Creek, as all street ends in Annapolis are also dinghy landings.
City administered moorings spot both creeks, but limited anchoring room is available if you look for it. A popular, if not bumpy anchorage is right off the Naval Academy near Triton Point. Pay heed to all in-the-water buoyage and regulations less you get a visit form the DNR Police or the city.
