Oak Valley balances neighborhood comfort with an easy Chesapeake Bay rhythm, tucked just off the Bush River and minutes from the conveniences of Edgewood in Harford County. Weekend plans come together quickly here: launch a kayak or join a guided marsh walk at the Anita C. Leight Estuary Center, operated by Harford County Parks and Rec, or watch the sunrise where the Gunpowder and tidal creeks meet at Mariner Point Park. When the weather heats up, locals head to Flying Point Park for sandy shoreline, boat ramps, and wide river views.
