The Saylor Grove public fishing pier provides visitors a panoramic view of the Potomac River and Mount Vernon.
The pier is named for Congressman John Saylor who sponsored the 1961 law creating Piscataway Park and each of the subsequent laws. His final work in the congress was an act to complete the park.
He came here on summer evenings to enjoy the quiet peace and beauty he helped preserve. The area is a living memorial to him for his help in making this possible.
The pier is open to visitors and those interested in fishing year-round.
A fishing license is required, which can be obtained through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources or at local sporting goods stores, bait and tackle shops, and other businesses associated with recreational fishing, hunting, or boating activities throughout Maryland. Fisherpeople and boaters using the fishing pier should be considerate of one another.
