We are located on a rural site in a former General Store situated just a few dozen yards from the Patuxent waterfront and adjacent to both a County Park and State Wildlife Sanctuary. Our offices are ideal for group gatherings and meetings and outdoor musical performances or teaching scenarios in a pastoral setting with a stunning view of the Patuxent River. Our location is managed as a clubhouse for Patuxent Riverkeeper members with a variety of amenities that are shared with the general public-- including kayak and canoe rentals, a visitor’s center store where maps and sundries can be purchased, and boats rented.
