Chesapeake Bay Reserve, Maryland
The Otter Point Creek Component is located in Harford County, east of the intersection of U.S. Route 40 and Maryland Route 24, and north of Edgewood. The creek flows into the Bush River, which drains into the Chesapeake Bay. One of the last remaining freshwater tidal marshes in the upper Chesapeake Bay is found in the Otter Point Creek component. Its 672 acres of open water, tidal marshes, forested wetlands and upland hardwood forests are surrounded by highways, homes and commercial development. Yet, the woods, creeks and marshes are filled with plants and animals. |
