	Maryland DNR - Tributary Strategies: Patapsco & Back River Team
		Larger waterbodies in the basin include Back River, Gwynns and Jones Falls, the North and South Branches of the Patapsco River, Lake Roland, Piney Run Reservoir, Liberty Reservoir, and Baltimore Harbor, a tidal embayment formed at the confluence of the Patapsco River and the Jones and Gwynns Falls.
		The Patapsco and the Back Rivers, along with all tributary basins in the Chesapeake, contribute to and are impacted by nutrient pollution.
		In this basin, as in the rest of the state, forest and wetlands are a land use that releases few nutrients to rivers and the Bay.

	The Patapsco: Baltimore's River of History by Paul J. Travers
		Until this straightforward rendition of the river's history was written, there was no single source of information about the Patapsco: its history was fragmented and scattered in old books, newspapers, museums, libraries, and archives around the state.
		Paul J. Travers was born near the Patapsco River in Baltimore and explored the rough Fell's Point waterfront as a truant schoolboy.
		While doing research for the Patapsco Valley State Park's interpretive programs, travers discovered the river's rich history and the role it played in the development of the surrounding countryside and the city of Baltimore; he has been interested in the river ever since.

		River Road, visible through the trees on river right, is also a good place to take out/put in, depending on where your headed to/from.

	Maryland Running Guide - Patapsco State Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Patapsco Valley State Park is one of the best places in the state to enjoy off-road running.
		There are a couple of places to cross the river in this section so it is possible to run the trails on either side of the river for longer runs.
		From there I follow the river along to the Ilchester Road (which can be a bit tricky when it's wet or icy as the road got washed away many years ago and the path is narrow and slippery along that section), cross the road bridge and head up to the Hilltop Road area.

	Cruising Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Fells Point
		The name "Patapsco" possibly comes from the Algonquin Indian "K'tchisipik," meaning "Great Water," or from "Potaskut," which means "jutting out place," a possible reference to the long shoal at its west entrance (now mostly underwater but shown on early maps as a land mass).
		Today the Patapsco River, to local boaters, is generally thought of as having three sections - Outside the Key Bridge, Inside the Key Bridge, and The Inner Harbor.
		The remainder of this outer area and the five creeks which feed the river (two to the north, three to the south) are residential.

	Sea Kayak - Baltimore harbor and the Patapsco River
		Home of the Star Spangled Banner, the first railroad in the United States and gateway for the grain and coal from the Appalachian mountains and Ohio valleys, Baltimore has transitioned from a heavy industrial base to a balanced economy.
		The state of Maryland concentrated its efforts on completing the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, designed to link the Potomac and Ohio River valleys, but the city of Baltimore supported an overland link in the form of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
		Although the two competed for routes and freight, to the eventual ruin of the canal and the financial embarrassment of the state, Baltimore's railroad reached Cumberland in 1842 and, by 1874, stretched to Chicago.

	Maryland Marine Notes: March-April 2001 Spotlight - Taking on Toxics in Baltimore Harbor
		Years ago, it was assumed that contaminants discharged into Baltimore Harbor and the Patapsco River were largely diluted, first in the river and then in the Bay, as currents carried contaminants down toward the Virginia capes and finally out into the Atlantic ocean.
		Sediment particles suspended in the Patapsco River waters (and other internal fresh water sources such as storm sewer outfalls) are similarly mixed with sediment particles that come in with fresh water from the Susquehanna and sediments that have been resuspended from the bottom.
		The scientists have taken their samples throughout the harbor and Patapsco River: in the Northwest Branch, which includes Baltimore's Inner Harbor; in highly urbanized areas along Curtis Bay, Curtis Creek and Middle Branch; along heavily industrialized Sparrow's Point; and on Bear Creek, which is largely residential upstream.

	Patapsco River - MD
		Tom had been hankering to get on this branch of the Patapsco for a year and having immensely enjoyed paddling the North Branch during a week of highwater dawn trips in ’05 (see report), I was looking forward to another high speed low drag Patapsco flush.
		Scouting the river during Saturday’s rain remnants from the leavings of tropical storm Ernesto Tom and Brian declared there was sufficient water put in at Sykesville, paddle down to the confluence with the North Branch and on to the dam at Daniels.
		Shuttling upstream to the River Rd put in at Sykesville we arrived to find a suspiciously low river — the previous month’s drought had rapidly sucked up the water from Ernesto and the level appeared to have fallen as fast as it had risen.
