Welcome to the Ideal Boating Home Base
No crowds, no fighting for a parking space, no loud parties disrupting your getaway… Shady Oaks has been serving boaters with distinction since 1951: friendly service and support, great amenities, all in a beautiful setting. We offer easy access from DC, VA and Suburban MD, and so many great Bay destinations are within easy reach of West River. Your time on the water is precious and so is the cost of fuel. And if it’s rough, you can scoot up into the Rhodes river – only 5 miles – one of the prettiest anchorages on the Bay.
