Continue to paddle down the Patuxent River. The next site is located 16.6 miles from the Columbia Air Center. Right before you get to a tall white power plant called Chalk Point, you will see several small beautiful cottages over to your right known as Eagle Harbor. Since Eagle Harbor is made up of private property, you can only view the cottages from the water. Eagle Harbor is a black summer resort community located on the Patuxent River. It is the southeastern most point of Prince George's County. The community started in 1925 when two brothers purchased the farmland adjacent to Trueman's Point with the idea of making it a resort community for blacks from the Washington area. Mr. M. Jones, sales manager for Eagle Harbor, advertised the land in the Washington Tribune, a newspaper in the city targeted to and read by blacks. In 1926, Walter Bean became the new owner of Eagle Harbor. The town was officially incorporated in 1929.

Blacks who purchased the land in the community went there as a refuge for the summer. They wanted to escape the heat and humidity of Washington, D.C. but were not welcomed at the already existing white resorts. The interesting thing about Eagle Harbor is that the two brothers who started the community were white. William Diggs, a former historian of Eagle Harbor, gave the only explanation to why these brothers would want to start a black summer resort community. Diggs said that both brothers had black wives therefore Eagle Harbor was established as a resort community where they could be together as interracial couples without facing persecution.

The 2000 census counted 55 residents in the community of Eagle Harbor. The town does not have a single store, restaurant or other commercial establishment, creating an almost hushed atmosphere. William Patton, who first bought a waterfront house in Eagle Harbor in 1963 as a summer getaway place said in a February 1994 issue of The Washington Post, "It's nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of D.C." In 1983, Patton moved permanently to Eagle Harbor. The houses in the community are mostly handed down within the families. Eagle Harbor is the smallest incorporated town in Prince George's County and the third smallest in the state.
