Eagle Harbor is a quiet waterfront enclave on the Patuxent River with a legacy as a 20th-century African American getaway and a present-day haven for people who value nature, community, and unhurried living. Tucked in the southern reaches of Prince George’s County, it offers front-row views of sunrise over the water, walkable streets, and a small-town rhythm where neighbors know one another.
Weekends revolve around the river. Launch a kayak, cast a line for rockfish, or roam the boardwalks and trails of Patuxent River Park, a regional treasure with miles of shoreline and abundant wildlife. Birders and photographers head to nearby Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary to explore tidal marshes rich with ospreys, herons, and seasonal migrations. With its intimate scale and direct water access, Eagle Harbor makes it easy to trade screen time for blue crabs, breezes, and starlit skies.
Families are served by Prince George’s County Public Schools, with area options that include Baden Elementary and the Gwynn Park middle and high school campuses. Daily needs and dining are a short drive away in Upper Marlboro and Waldorf, while wineries, farm stands, and trails unfold across rural byways and, just across the river, in Calvert County.
