The Queen Anne’s County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted recently to allow individuals who possess a Queen Anne’s County Public Landings Permit to launch their boats at the Matapeake facility. The permit also covers those who launch canoes or kayaks at Romancoke Pier. The new change became effective June 1, 2009. Individuals who enter either of these facilities to use the piers for fishing, crabbing or use of the picnic areas will continue to pay the daily fee of $10.
