A place to get outside.

Certain activities are permitted outside of the regular park hours (e.g. fishing, boat launch, hunting where permitted). Please check with the park before your visit if you plan to engage in an activity which requires you to be in the park before or after the posted hours. Whether you feel like taking a recreational walk or looking for some of Maryland’s beautiful plants and animals, Sandy Point State Park has an opportunity for you. The Symbi Trail (about 0.7 miles) is located by the first picnic area on the right after entering the park. This trail provides views of an old planted pine forest and leads to neighboring marshes that many plants and animals call home. A second trail called the Blue Crab trail is a short trail (about 0.7 miles) near the small craft parking lot that provides hikers with wooded cover that is perfect for seeing some of Maryland’s distinctive birds. Bordering Sandy Point State Park is the Corcoran Tract, a natural environmental area. Here there are approximately four miles of trails where you can hike, jog, and see many types of plants and animals. For more information about this property please call Sandy Point State Park at 410-974-2149. The park has twelve rental pavilions located at the East Beach area of the park. Nine shelters accommodate up to 140 people, two shelters accommodate up to 180 people, and one shelter accommodates up to 300 people. East Beach has its own swimming beach and bathhouse as well. The East Beach area can not accommodate baptisms. Please contact the park to schedule a baptism at the South Beach area. Baptisms are permitted from 7AM-9AM only to maintain visibility to the water.
