    From the mouth of Hopkins Creek on up into the head of the Middle River, there are several great spots to drop anchor. Much of the area is moderately private and unspoiled, with a good deal of wild life and good fishing. Hopkins Creek is the home to a couple of premier dock bar/restaurants, each with their own docks (as is nearby Dark Horse Creek). Weekend music from the bars can get annoying, so I recommend anchoring a bit further up on the port side of Middle River. Bottom is pretty uniformly 8-9 feet and holding is excellent. There is shopping in walking distance in Essex, Md.
