Little Patuxent Oxbow is a Nature Conservancy Preserve. I suspect that
they may even have a field trip that visits there occasionally. You =
might try
to get some information from them.
I've been birding there twice, with must the same impressions you stated =
below. There was a Great Blue Heron rookery there last year, in the =
area
beyond the beaver dam. To my knowledge, beyond the short path at the
parking lot, there are no paths.

Subject: RFI: Little Patuxent Oxbow
There is a large freshwater lake just northwest of the intersection of =
the BW
Parkway and MD 198. I believe it is an old oxbow of the Little Patuxent
river. It is great bird habitat. The location is very accessible from a
relatively new "Russett" housing development. Unfortunately, the habitat
itself it very inaccessible. There is a short trail to a viewing area, =
but the
view is obscured by trees. The slopes around the lake are very steep and =
there
is a lot of undergrowth. I managed to hike across a beaver damn in some =
boots
to an island and found some great birds, esp. a Least Bittern. Does =
anybody
know of access to other parts of the lake? It is surrounds by trees. Has
anyone birded it much? What is its conservation status? I went on a =
walk
with the Nature Conservancy several years ago, but I have forgotten what =
they
said about it.
