Kayak Adventure: Fort Carroll

[@dmiller8425]

Baltimore is really missing out not making this into a tourist attraction. It's very noticable from the Key Bridge. Thanks for the video...I always wanted to see more of it!

[@e.t.02]

Not anymore

[@carlebeling5256]

This is a great video. Thanks for the tour i'm sure the majority of the population has never seen in the inside of ft carroll. Its a shame we let our rich history decay like that.

[@lisettegarvin5030]

Great pics of the Key Bridge!!

[@auraEve.]

Thanks so much for posting this. Every time i drive over the key bridge I dream of boating over to it somehow and checking it out. Kayak seems like a good way to go :)

[@paragontim]

Great job. Glad you completed it safely. I liked your photos too. I flew my drone out there for the first time this week.

[@trickytrixie5805]

So much better then those drone videos 👍

[@RandomDudeOne]

Very cool place to explore. Surprised the masonry is still in such good condition.

[@azannah]

Thank you so much for that look back into history.

[@etinarcadiaego5708]

Definite True Detective (Fort Macomb, AKA "Carcosa") vibes here. Sucks about the bridge collapse.

[@tonybond6839]

Thanks for posting this.

[@blueboltboy9543]

So, no guard dog? Lol

[@T.J.Caldwell318]

I remember the guard dogs back in the late 80s or early 90s as a kid

[@tomduncan1970]

This is an amazing video. Thank you very much for sharing it Pat!!

[@BonzaiFPV]

Goals. Inspiring Video :)

[@davidlockwood5946]

It’s creepy to see the pictures of the intact Key bridge

[@briancrowley6413]

love this video... very educational if you let the music & video guide you. This Fort has similarities to Fort Delaware Pea Patch island and Fort DuPont in Delaware City, Delaware; in design. Obviously; the sign about dogs keeps honest people out. To get all the video & still shots... did you stay a day or two???

[@PatGavinProductions]

The dog sign was put there in the 1950s when it possibly did have guard dogs. But they have long been gone. I stayed for maybe 2 or 3 hours.

[@rubyrod668]

"One problem is that the fortress is protected by the state’s Chesapeake Bay critical areas environmental laws, which make redevelopment almost impossible."

[@nicolevogt9042]

not to mention it's privetly owned by Benjamin Eisenberg and his 2 brothers Alan and Irvin so not state owned for the state to make any dessions on what to do with it

[@derick1965]

Did you come across any wildlife besides bugs and birds there?

[@PeterHanke-i8c]

Nice. If you’re making these for sale, I’d be very interested!

[@evansmith8621]

Here from the future the Baltimore bridge falls up to being hit by a ship

[@PrometheusDidIt]

@patgavin were the yellow ropes you used to climb into the fort there already or did you bring them?

[@ExploreBaltimore]

PrometheusDidIt already there. There are 3 ropes, maybe more.

[@ValleauFamilyAdventures]

How easy was it to get here?

[@Elrincondelmiedooficial3709]

Serca de que pais se encuentra

[@Elrincondelmiedooficial3709]

Que animales hay en la isla

[@hgill257]

Muchas aves

[@scottk7613]

Hows the building in the middle of the island? Is it liveable? Or does it need to be replaced?

[@rharmon1382]

Scott K building is in disrepair, it’s more or less impossible to get to. I was out there earlier this summer. It’s so overgrown you would need a chainsaw or brush ax to reach it.

[@tseawell90]

How hard is it to kayak to the fort? Is there a strong current?

[@jasonlandon2125]

I had always heard it was infested with rats, guess that's wrong

[@jimmarsheck4802]

Same here

[@hgill257]

Maybe when boats would go there b it the rat pop has probably died out

[@azertyuiop7893]

What's the song?

[@getprobed838]

is there any electricity there at all? a well?

[@ExploreBaltimore]

Nope

[@hgill257]

Old cistern that is surely dry

[@kongking21]

Disgusting, the way this beautiful place has deteriorated.

[@RandomDudeOne]

Well, they were going to make it into a casino, I think this is better than that.

[@tomrood]

probably too late but change that music.
