Fort Smallwood Park, Military heritage park in Anne Arundel County, United States.
Fort Smallwood Park extends across 90 acres on a peninsula where the Patapsco River and Rock Creek join the Chesapeake Bay waters.
The coastal defense fort operated from 1890 to 1927, named after Revolutionary War Major General William Smallwood who led the Maryland Line regiment.
The 380-foot fishing pier received designation as Bill Burton Fishing Pier in 2009, honoring the Baltimore Sun outdoor columnist and reporter.
Visitors access numerous facilities including walking trails, beaches, playgrounds, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, boat ramps, and historic gun batteries throughout the grounds.
White Rocks, a formation of rock outcroppings northwest of the park, creates an additional natural landmark visible from the shoreline.
