About the Masonville Cove Connector

Masonville Cove is an educational and recreational community treasure in South Baltimore, but it can be hard to get to. The new Connector, a shared use path currently in development, will provide access to the waterfront for the communities near Masonville Cove. Once complete, the Masonville Cove Connector will fulfill a long-standing commitment of the Maryland Port Administration’s Dredged Material Management Program.
