About three miles south of Holland Point and Herring Bay off Marylands Western Shore, flashing green 1 marks the entrance to Fishing Creek. The Fishing Creek Inlet has reported depths of three feet with a channel width of 40 feet. If you are at all unsure as to the conditions at Fishing Creek Inlet, we would suggest calling ahead to one of the marinas on the VHF for local information ahead of time.
Once clear of flashing green 1, you can proceed on to flashing red 2 and flashing green 3 farther in at the breakwaters. Clear of the breakwaters, you can head toward the marinas on the left and right, if your draft permits.
The first marina on the left (south) on entry is the Rod and Reel Marina and Restaurant, which accepts transient guest and supplies gas and diesel fuels. Just beyond the 14-foot fixed vertical clearance bridge on the left (south) is Fishing Creek Landings, which, if you can make it under the bridge, has transient slips, gas, and a lift for haul-out and repairs.
