Maryland is home to several major rivers that traverse its diverse landscapes, contributing to the state’s natural beauty and ecological richness. The Potomac River, one of the most iconic waterways in the region, serves as a vital lifeline, flowing along the state’s western border and offering scenic vistas and recreational opportunities. The Chesapeake Bay, often referred to as the heart of Maryland, is the largest estuary in the United States and a defining feature of the state’s geography and identity. Additionally, the Patapsco River winds its way through central Maryland, playing a crucial role in shaping the landscapes of Baltimore and the surrounding areas.
