Triadelphia Reservoir is located on the Patuxent River and was created in 1943 by the construction of the Brighton Dam. With a surface area of 800 acres and many coves and inlets, and beautiful shorelines occupied by forests and fields, there is much water to paddle and several places to explore to find solitude and tranquility. The scenery is gorgeous, especially when the fall colors bloom or in spring when brightly colored azaleas are found, and there is abundant wildlife for viewing. The Visitor’s Center and azalea gardens are found at the south end by the Brighton Dam and the boat ramp is at the north end off of Triadelphia Lake Road.
