Jug Bay Wetland Sanctuary, Lothian, MD


 Fresh air, great exercise, and beautiful and unique nature. What more could you ask for? Not much. Jug Bay Wetland Sanctuary offers an enjoyable and unique outdoor experience for all ages. Located in Lothian, Maryland this nature preserve offers a beautiful view of marshes from many different boardwalks built into the water. On the Patuxent River, there are many different paths that you can take with various offshoots that allow you to see the freshwater, beautiful fauna, and wonderful wildlife. Our favorite part was enjoying the 1-mile walk along a peninsula that had several views of the water and large birds. We enjoyed feeling like we were in an aquatic field of dreams, with many areas snaking through thick brush on either side of the path. There are maps at the visitor center and the hike contained a mix of sun and shade.
