Curtis Bay (Anne Arundel)
Anne Arundel’s Curtis Bay area includes working waterfront infrastructure and selected public outdoor destinations. Cox Creek’s guided birding access is distinct from the open facilities at Solleys Cove Park.
Curtis Bay on the county side
This Curtis Bay profile covers Anne Arundel County, distinct from Baltimore City’s neighborhood of the same name. The Maryland Port Administration’s Cox Creek placement-site account locates that working facility south of the Patapsco River in Anne Arundel. Dredged-material operations and Swan Creek’s wetland habitat share this larger landscape.
Arrange birding through the operator
The port administration’s birding information currently offers limited guided visits at Cox Creek. A new nature trail is still described as a project, so it should not be treated as an open self-guided route. Use the listed tour or event process for a visit, rather than arriving at an industrial entrance expecting general park access.
Choose a public park for an ordinary outing
Solleys Cove Park, at 7360 Carbide Road, provides a separate county recreation destination. The county lists boat ramps, a cartop launch, trails and restrooms, with sunrise-to-sunset access. The exact entrance matters: a Curtis Bay mailing address can cover very different kinds of properties. Plan the park outing and any guided Cox Creek visit as separate stops with their own access arrangements.
