Snow Hill Park & Beach

Snow Hill Park and Beach is a beautiful spot to visit on your vacation. This 1500 ft. beach provides a large area for you to rest and relax as you take in the scenery of Patuxent River. Wade in the water, bring your canoe or kayak, or rent one, to venture out into the water, or see what you catch while fishing.

Snow Hill Park is also located minutes from Historic Sotterley, Seabreeze Restaurant and Crab House, and Sandgate's Inn Restaurant and Crab House. The perfect location for a full weekend getaway of fun.

Rent a kayak on-site: 

Don't own a kayak or didn't travel with your own? No problem: Snow Hill Waterfront Park has a "vending machine" for that - check out the kayak and stand-up paddleboard rental kiosk!

Single-person kayaks, tandem kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards are accessible from an easy-to-use self-serve kayak kiosk, powered by Rent.Fun. Perfect for a spontaneous solo trip or a fun outing with friends—no reservations needed.

Just download the app, unlock a kayak or paddleboard, and get out on the water! Paddles and lifejackets are included. Instructions and a download link are available on signage at the kiosk.
