Lerch Creek

Lerch Creek is a quiet anchorage just off the West River in Galesville, Maryland, where you drop the hook in a peaceful tidal creek surrounded by wooded shoreline. The setting feels tucked away and unhurried, with easy access to the broader West River for exploring the western shore of the Chesapeake. Galesville village is close by, a classic small Maryland waterfront town worth a wander if you can get ashore.
