Nice park, as a vet, I get in free. It has lots of parking, a playground, bbq pits, pavilions and a trail around the whole thing in a mostly wooded setting. There's a fishing pier , a small beach and a separate dog beach as well as a place for concerts and a wedding garden. We even saw a bog/pond with a big blue Egret. They have activities throughout the year.

Gorgeous park, gorgeous views. Doesn't get 5 stars bc you have to pay to get in, but apparently that's the norm in Maryland

I'm not sure exactly, but I tried to crab off that pier and a ranger told me that crabbing wasn't allowed off that pier and that I could be fined.

can dogs play off-leash here?

Amanda Murff | Sep 30, 2018
Mike Fronczak | Sep 30, 2018

On the dog beach you can. Although it's small and often way over crowded. Me and my dog actually use the giant beach that is supposed to be for kayak launches. Hardly ever used. Theres also some large secluded fields you can run in.

Sharon Tubb | Sep 30, 2018

6 bucks but if you plan to visit often a membership ($30-$40) could be more than worth it as it covers more than this park.
