Swimming River Natural Area
Swimming River Park offers public water access via a 30-foot-wide boat ramp (open April-October) and kayak beach launch area, along with docks for fishing and crabbing.
The recently renovated 18-acre park features ample parking, a ¼-mile paved walking trail with scenic views, and requires daily or seasonal launch passes for all vessels.
Boat launch passes can be obtained at the ranger station, and those with trailered boats should note that a valid Boat Safety Certificate and boat registration are required for powered vessels.
