Around $8.00
Along Annapolis’s South River, this 340-acre park weaves paved forest trails past outdoor sculptures down to the water.
Description


Tucked between the South River and Harness Creek, the spacious grounds maintain a distinctly quiet atmosphere. Paved loops featuring educational signs and children's crayon rubbing stations lead toward the shoreline, offering kayak rentals alongside a cartop boat launch.
Beside the Visitor Center and its indoor art galleries, the layout opens into botanical and sculpture gardens near a scenic fountain. Additional amenities across the grounds include picnic pavilions, a seasonal outdoor ice rink, and off-leash dog runs with a dog beach
