The Magothy River is a relatively small, mostly tidal river with a watershed area (including the water surface) of 44 square miles, or 35 square miles of land. Thus, its total watershed area is 20% water. It starts in Millersville, and flows into Chesapeake Bay next to Gibson Island. It is probably best known among recreational boaters for the popular anchorage behind Dobbins Island. Its navigable tidal portion is crossed by one bridge, located on Magothy Bridge Road in Pasadena. The Baltimore Light Station marks the mouth of the river. |

There are many beautiful and interesting houses on the Magothy River, some large and some not-so-large. But below are five (5) houses that the two RV Gypsies found most amusing. |

Duquette took the below panorama and the movement of the boat gave the

Karen Duquette was totally relaxed and enjoyed the boat ride on The Magothy River, as well as a small portion of the Chesapeake Bay. What a wonderful life! |

Cruising past Ferry Point and The Point Crab House Grill, Bob told the two RV Gypsies that the crab cakes and other food there is fantastic, so the two RV Gypsies immediately decided that is where they will have dinner tonight. |
|
|
Later, the two RV Gypsies drove their truck to Ferry Point to have dinner at The Point Crab House and Grill. |
|
|
|
Lee Duquette waited for his fish and chips dinner.
Karen Duquette enjoyed the Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade, Fresh Lemon and Fresh Tomato- the best she's ever had. She also loved the Cream of Crab Soup and her Pineapple Martini. |

|
Karen Duquette took a walk by the sailboats and other boats while Lee waited to pay the bill. |
