Spring in Snow Hill

12 Must Do Spring Activities In Snow Hill, Maryland
​


PADDLE

Paddling season begins in late April with the re-opening of the Pocomoke River Canoe Company. Get on the river early to enjoy the light fog created by warm air on cool, dark water. The lush greens of spring will change the Pocomoke and Nassawango with each passing week.

Switch ecosystems just a short distance away from Snow Hill and paddle the coastal marshes of the EA Vaughn Kayak Trail in Chincoteague Bay.

BIRDING

Celebrate the arrival of the spring migrants by birding in the Audubon-identified Important Bird Areas of the Pocomoke/Nassawango and Maryland Coastal Bays. “Bird the Bridges” by cruising the back roads of the baldcypress swamp between Snow Hill and Salisbury to search for Prothonotary Warblers, Scarlet Tanagers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers.

PLANTS

Spadderdock, also known as Yellow Pond Lilly, begins to emerge from the mud of the Pocomoke river bottom. Green, feathery needles reappear on the Baldcypress. Fallow farm fields turn purple with Henbit.

WILDLIFE

As temperatures warm, Eastern Painted and Redbelly Turtles bask on emerged logs on the Pocomoke during the day. A paddle down either the Pocomoke or Nassawango Creek also offers a good chance to see beavers and their associated lodges. Northern watersnakes bask along the riverbanks and in abandoned duck blinds (we don’t have water mocassins).
CAMPINGSpring is a great time to avoid mosquitoes and chiggers. Nearby Shad Landing boasts ample wooded campsites with related facilities. This campus of Pocomoke River State Park stays open year-round.

HIKING

Hike at Shad Landing and Milburn Landing, both part of Pocomoke River State Park. Or embark from nearby Furnace Town amidst the miles of trails owned and operated by the Nature Conservancy’s 11,000-acre Nassawango Creek Preserve.

CYCLING

Mountain bike the trails through thousands of acres of public forest, or bring your road bike to explore the lightly traveled scenic country roads of the Viewtrail 100.

HUNTING

Wild Turkeys abound in the wide open spaces of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. With so much public land, places to hunt and the abundance of turkeys do not disappoint.

FISHING

Fish for abundant lunker bass, white and yellow perch, shad, and herring  in the cypress-lined creeks and rivers.

HISTORY

A walk through Snow Hill is a walk through the eras of U.S. architecture. Snow Hill’s historic homes range from Colonial to Art-Deco, and many have been restored to their former grandeur. Snow Hill is also home to several historic churches, including the Makemie Memorial Presbyterian, the oldest continuously operating Presbyterian Church in the U.S.

Browse the numerous art galleries and studios that line the quaint streets of the historic town. Be sure to explore the exhibitions at the Julia A. Purnell Museum  and its 10,000 artifacts. Also, step back in time to the Village of Nescongo, which was operated as a company town by the Maryland Iron Company from 1831 to 1850. The 19th-century village and restored Iron Furnace have been restored by the  Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum.

REST

Stay in one of the rustic bed and breakfasts nestled on the quiet side streets or in the adjacent unspoiled countryside.

CRAB
