Selby’s Landing
The official launch record documents the public M-NCPPC access, hours, parking, permit posture, and reservation-based primitive camping.

Selby’s Landing, Patuxent River Park

White Oak Landing paddle-in campsite
The official Patuxent Water Trail record identifies this as Maryland DNR water-access-only camping with a reservation requirement. It is not a drive-to bailout or open landing without current arrangements.

Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary access anchor
The official water-trail map lists Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary. Confirm current wildlife-area hours and water access; do not assume the shoreline is an unrestricted landing.

Spice Creek paddle-in access/campsite
The official water-trail map lists Spice Creek as a Patuxent River Park reservation-based access/camping site. Confirm current water entry, reservation, and channel conditions.

Clyde E. Watson Boating Area
NPS identifies Clyde Watson as an accessible kayak launch with a bathroom, paved trails, and ramp fee; the official water-trail map supplies the coordinate. Confirm hours, fee, carry, and current landing.
