If you are heading to the Oxford area and looking for a nice anchorage, Trippe Creek is worthy of consideration. The anchorage is large, can accommodate a number of boats and is fairly well protected. To get there, head up the Tred Avon River from the Choptank River, pass the town of Oxford on your starboard and the Town Creek. You will pass another anchorage on your starboard identified as Flatty Cove on the charts. After red "6" start heading for green "1" on your right. You will pass through a fairly narrow pass that will lead you into the anchorage.
A number of homes dot the shoreline, but the anchorage was quiet and calm while we were there on a late-September night. We were the only boat in the anchorage. |
