Rock Hall is on the Bay, not the Chester. But head up the Chester to Chestertown. Beautiful ride. Nice small town worth walking and exploring. Not as large as St Mike’s but similar.

Also thinking about wandering up the Chester River for a weekend trip, looks like Rock Hall is on the river? Is that a good place to spend the weekend or are there other options?
Any other destinations North of Kent Island we should check out?
Looks like we could do Chestertown and Tolchester over a 2-3 day trip. Where do you recommend staying in Chestertown where we can get around on foot?
@Pirate Lady how come I have a feeling you have a favorite Tiki bar everywhere?
Yeah, the more I looked at the maps you are correct.They are in opposite directions from Kent Island. You'd do better to do them in two trips. Rock Hall/Tolchester in one, Chestertown the other. .
... If you want a marina and still be near downtown you can try the Yacht Basin. ...
Yeah, I am not feeling the Annapolis love here so that is why I am looking at north destinations now.
No love on where to stay, a marina. We are not ready to moor/anchor out yet.

The Chester River looks narrow the more you travel north. Can I run at cruise all the way to the Port of Chestertown Marina? Navionics is saying I can, but...
As for the remarks about staying in Baltimore. I will be nice and say save that for another time after you do some research. Very nice place during the day for the most part but very dangerous at night away from the boat. Especially if you don't know where to stay away from.

I have to laugh! Funny not funny!

... Also, the Chester River Yacht club is on the port side just prior to Chestertown. I've never seen No Wake markers there, but you should respect the No Wake as you pass in front of them, too, so you don't blast them. The channel takes you towards their side of the river.
These are short no wake zones and do not take away from the trip up the Chester. It's a beautiful ride. And it's even better in the autumn. Don't miss out on it.
Also, true not true. I live in the City and my boat is here. That means I can walk to my boat any time I want. Can't beat that! Yes, there are some bad places in the City, but they are not along the waterfront. Yes, it's a city so things can happen. But that's true of just about anywhere people gather. There are plenty of places in the counties I wouldn't go either. In reality, it's not the battleground that so many people (without knowledge) claim it to be. If you want some recommendations on where to/not to dock in the City, I'll be happy to provide them. But message me directly as I don't want to get into a debate about how awful the place is with people whose information is gleaned from the TV.
Look I knew when I posted this I would get backlash. Not saying the city as a whole is bad, and you can pretty much go anywhere you like during the day, at night is a very different story the later it get's news or not. I know first hand been going to Baltimore for work for many years and in all the wrong area's.
My saying dangerous at night is for anyone that doesn't know where to stay away from. Of course you know where to go and where not too, but others not from Baltimore will not know. The area around the Rusty Scupper is fine at night, go across by the Tiki bar and not so much.
