I have a truck which makes transpiring kayaks a piece of cake. We’ll drop off the kayaks by the starting point and then take two cars to savage (or where we want to get out), park the truck and take the other car back to the starting point. Because it’s Columbia I wouldn’t worry about anyone taking the kayaks in the 25 minutes it takes to drive around, but you can always hide them in a bush or under the bridge. I’ll clip my car keys into my water shorts so there’s no chance of me losing them on the way, because we have lost a backpack to the water before.

I’ve kayaked down the Little Patuxent multiple times and it’s a really fun time! Be prepared for it to take the whole day so bring sunscreen, water and snacks. I usually drop the kayaks in on Stevens Forest Rd or the end of Owen Brown Rd (where broken land crosses over the river). I always go all the way to savage mill but you must be prepared to get out before the falls and walk your kayak down the trial a bit, don’t attempt to go down the falls in your kayak. If you want a shorter trip, the bridge on old Guilford Rd would be a good spot. Be prepared to get out multiple times to go around fallen trees or push through shallow water, so water shoes or crocs would be good to bring.

Let me know if you have more questions! It’s a really fun and mellow kayaking trip, but can prove challenging at certain times.
