11 Winter Activities to Try in Snow Hill, Maryland
PADDLE
If you are a skilled paddler and have the proper equipment, kayak or canoe Nassawango Creek from Red House Road after a light snowfall. The sound of your boat cracking through the thin ice of the Nassawango in winter is a sound you won’t forget.
BIRDING
The fields around Snow Hill frequently turn white from huge flocks of Snow Geese and Tundra Swans. Bald Eagles congregate along the Pocomoke in the winter months near Milburn Landing.
PLANTS
Most of the plants have lost their leaves, but trees such as winterberry and American holly produce bright red berries that are easy to spot in the winter landscape. Search for low-hanging mistletoe in the forest.
WILDLIFE
The Pocomokes river otters and beaver den and raise young in winter. Spring peepers and New Jersey chorus frogs begin calling in late winter, to remind you that spring is just around the corner.
CAMPING
“Glamp” in one of the mini-cabins at Shad Landing. This campus of Pocomoke River State Park stays open year-round, and the mini-cabins are heated.
HIKING
Hike at Shad Landing and Milburn Landing, both part of Pocomoke River State Park on opposite banks of the Pocomoke.
CYCLING
Cycle the ViewTrail 100 during the autumn to enjoy the scenic landscape of corn stubble fields and fall foliage.
HUNTING
The marshes of Chincoteague Bay east of Snow Hill are a winter waterfowlers paradise. Duck and goose hunters can hunt October through January, but check the Maryland DNR website for dates for specific season s.
FISHING
Largemouth bass and chain pickerel delight all winter long with crankbaits.
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. During the holiday season, Snow Hill looks like a Norman Rockwell painting.
REST
Stay in one of the rustic bed and breakfasts nestled on the quiet side streets or in the adjacent unspoiled countryside.
