Departed from the boat ramp at Southwest Area Park and paddled up the Patapsco River until the water became too shallow past the I-895 bridge. I then turned around and paddled under multiple bridges until I got to the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River near Harbor Hospital. Distance paddled: 3.21 nm.
