Best Boardwalks Itinerary

FROM WASHINGTON D.C. AND BALTIMORE

These are boardwalks we visit often, so instead of providing an itinerary for a day trip of them all I have provided the driving times from downtown D.C. and downtown Baltimore to each destination. Hope that’s helpful!

From D.C. to:

SERC…………………………..60 minutes

Chesapeake Railway Trail…..60 minutes

Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary..45 minutes

Patuxent River Park……………..50 minutes

Battle Creek Cypress Swamp..70 minutes

 

From Baltimore to:

SERC…………………………………50 minutes

Chesapeake Railway Trail……70 minutes

Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary..65 minutes

Patuxent River Park……………70 minutes

Battle Creek Cypress Swamp..90 minutes

CONSIDERATIONS

Not all of these places are open on days you would expect, like Sundays. Check their website just to make sure you don’t get there and find it closed.

Accessiblilty – the only boardwalk that was handicapped accessible is the Chesapeake Railway Trail, the others are not. None require too much effort but there are steps, and narrow rocky trails.

Fees – of the boardwalks mentioned, only Jug Bay requires a parking fee. But that gets you inside the visitors center which is quite interesting.
