With 14,753 wooded acres in the Southwestern section of Worcester County, between Snow Hill and Pocomoke City, the state forest is famous for its stand of loblolly pine and for its cypress swamps which border the Pocomoke River. Pocomoke means black water, and there is good fishing in these waters. The river originates in the Great Cypress Swamp in Delaware and flows southwesterly 45 miles to the Chesapeake Bay.
The park's combination of swamp and upland offers a great variety of plant and animal life, including white dogwood and pink laurel in the spring, river otters and bald eagles, and over 50 species of fish.

I stayed at the Milburn Landing. Clean and spacious bathhouse. The shower water pressure is great. TV Antenna has 20 channels. Beautiful sunrise if you’re an early riser. Nice dock to off of. Be sure to have a Maryland fishing license with you. Hiliking trail is safe but be on the lookout for snakes; copper head.

The good: very peaceful at night, lots of trails to walk on, not a ton of bugs.
The bad: no water at sites, dump station is a little tricky to get into when entering the park.
The ugly: you have to pay a stupid $6 reservation fee even if you just show up. Rates posted on site are higher than online. Camp host was barely there.

Not very much to do here but the area was very beautiful. My husband was hoping the nature trails from his youth were still maintained but they were closed off.
