Smallwood State Park
Smallwood State Park, State park and historical museum on Mattawoman Creek, Maryland.
Smallwood State Park extends across 984 acres of forested land with trails, a marina, and boat ramps along the Mattawoman Creek waterfront.
Founded in 1958, the park preserves Smallwood's Retreat, the restored plantation residence of Continental Army officer and Maryland Governor William Smallwood.
The park maintains regular military exhibitions and craft demonstrations that connect visitors with the regional heritage of Charles County.
The park operates seasonally with extended hours from April through October, opening at 5:00 AM, and shorter hours from November through March, opening at 7:00 AM.
The elevation of the park sits at just three feet above sea level, making it an excellent location for observing tidal changes in Mattawoman Creek.
