	Patuxent River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are three main river drainages for central Maryland: the Potomac River to the west passing through Washington D.C., the Patapsco River to the northeast passing through Baltimore, and the Patuxent River between the two.
		The river source, 113 miles from the Chesapeake, is in the hills of the Maryland Piedmont near the intersection of four counties - Howard, Frederick, Montgomery and Carroll.
		The Patuxent was plied by regular steamship service, mostly from the Weems Line, from the 1820's to the 1920's, replacing the schooners and sailing packets that had for the previous centuries served the river's many landings and docks along the 50 mile navigable reach.

	Patuxent Survey of Fishes
		Historically, at least 45 fishes occurred in the Patuxent River at PWRC (1979 reprint and revision of N. Hotchkiss and R. Stewart, 1947, “Vegetation and vertebrates of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center: outline of ecology and annotated lists”).
		The yellow bullhead natively occurs across a wide portion of the eastern and central United States, and its occurrence in the Patuxent River is not unexpected.
		However, the reoccurrence of a number of previously rare fishes in the reach of the Patuxent River that crosses PWRC suggests that other refuges exist in the drainage and (or) that the physically protected conditions at PWRC allow local recovery of system function sufficient to support a portion of the native community.

	Source of Patuxent River
		I say almost useless, because the Patuxent is the border between Montgomery and Howard Counties, and you can find Parr's Ridge by tracing the County lines to the little, pointy northeastern tip of Montgomery County.
		Based on my research, I planned to find the source of the Patuxent by driving south from Mt. Airy on Route 27 (Ridge Road) to the Montgomery County line, which is the Patuxent, and then walking up the creek bed until it ended, which I thought would be from one to two miles.
		The river there was indistinguishable from the little streams and gulleys we find all through the woods of central Maryland.

	Patuxent River at Howard Chapel Road
		It would be okay to kayak down this river, but it would be difficult to attain up over the shallow riffles since there's not enough water for the paddle to bite.
		This stretch is in Patuxent River State Park so the scenery is undeveloped forest and bottom land.
		Perhaps the mile or so of river downstream of Howard Chapel Road to the top end of the Reservoir is clear, but I wouldn't recommend the upstream stretch for John Q Public.
