On Wednesday, February 15, the Maryland Board of Public Works approved the lease of a 185-acre parcel within DNR's Nanjemoy Natural Resource Management Area (NRMA) to Charles County for development and operation of a recreational area that will provide water access to the public year-round. Proposed improvements to the site include a single power boat launch and boarding pier, kayak/canoe launch, restroom facilities, an overnight camp and an interpretive kiosk on Mallows Bay, where the largest shipwreck fleet in the Western Hemisphere rests.
