MARYLAND BODIES OF WATER.  Maryland’s proximity to bodies of water is an important factor in driving industry and population trends.  Many communities that were once popular for ”summer homes” are now occupied by year round home owners.  Communities along rivers and the Chesapeake Bay are popular with year round residents and the many owners of vacation and weekend homes.  Waterfront properties are a finite resource and Maryland has an abundance.  Popular waterways are the Chesapeake Bay, an estuary reaching from Pennsylvania to Virignia and into the Atlantic Ocean.  Fishing is very popular in the fresh water rivers, bays, lakes and ponds and In the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
