The Maryland Port Administration is pleased to offer the public the opportunity to explore Cox Creek Dredged Material Containment Facility, only accessible a few times a year. Come learn about what’s happening at Cox Creek and other Port site activities, get information about the new Swan Creek Nature Trial that is in development, and access this top birding site in the state.

This free family friendly event invites the community to explore 126 acres of preserved wetlands, see the latest construction progress at Cox Creek Dredged Material Containment Facility, and a rare first-hand look at how MPA is using innovative geotextile tubes (“geotubes”) to manage dredged material.

 Visitors can enjoy a day of fun and discovery, take a guided tour, visit the Swan Creek Wetlands, meet local community partners, and participate in outdoor activities. Bring the kids for educational games, arts and crafts, Touch-a-Truck, fishing, and even a self-guided birding walk!
