Description:
The city is accessible by air and water. The state-owned paved, lighted runway allows for jet service. A seaplane base is adjacent to the runway, with another airplane float located in the Inner Harbor. Charter air taxi services are also available. The marine facilities include a breakwater at each of the three harbors with 710 slips for recreational and commercial vessels, deep draft dock which just completed upgrades and rennovations, state ferry terminal, and three boat launches. Freight arrives by barge, ship, ferry, and cargo plane. Front Street was reconstructed as part of a larger downtown revitalization project three years ago. Several new trails have been developed, including a new loop on Volunteer Park Trail and the Paddle Craft Trail, a canoe/kayak portage.
