With miles of shoreline, Annapolis is a waterfront city with few places to swim

I met Dana Cooksey as she glided into the muddy landing on Spa Creek, gracefully stepping off her paddleboard. It was 90 degrees, and my hunt for places to swim in Annapolis creeks had led me to Amos Garrett Park. This little street end was my last stop on a hot afternoon. As we talked, we couldn’t help but notice the group on the opposite shore, where the eroded walking trails at Truxtun Park reach down to the water’s edge.
