Re: Chesapeake Bay, water depth through Hart Miller/Pleasure Island Cut
I sailed Middle River for years and never went through there. Not much water on the Back River side. Go around, you don't need to honor the first green on your way into Middle River.

Middle River gets very busy on the weekends. If I were you I would look at the Eastern Shore. Yes a further drive but much nicer. Most of the water by Harvre de Grace is shallow check out a chart.
