Our experience
The location is ideal for accessing the grocery store, the Ace store, and the shops of Fells Point. The place is quiet and was very lightly occupied during our visit.
When you haul up your anchor, be prepared to pull up a lot of debris!

Anchorage at Canton, Baltimore
Canton is a neighborhood located east of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in Maryland, on the shores of the Patapsco River, near Chesapeake Bay. Once an industrial and port area, it has transformed over the decades into a residential and commercial neighborhood while retaining traces of its maritime past.
The waters near Canton accommodate pleasure craft and offer various views of Baltimore’s waterfront. Anchorage possibilities, however, depend on the specific areas, depth, commercial traffic, and local restrictions. It is important to consult nautical charts and current regulations before dropping anchor.
The neighborhood has a developed waterfront, notably around Canton Waterfront Park, a public park that includes green spaces, trails, and views of the harbor. The area also features restaurants, cafés, and shops, primarily around O'Donnell Square and the surrounding streets.
From the Canton area, the Inner Harbor and downtown Baltimore are accessible by road, while trips by dinghy depend on the landing facilities available and their accessibility to visitors. The proximity of services and public spaces makes Canton an area of interest for sailors exploring the Port of Baltimore.
