Established in December 1962, the Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge is a 2,285-acre island that serves as a major feeding and nesting ground for thousands of migratory and wintering waterfowl especially black duck. The refuge is also home to the endangered Delmarva fox squirrel and the threatened bald eagle. Management for the fox squirrel includes forest and cropland management, running a cooperative farming program and keeping the deer in check.

Nearly six miles of roads and trails are open to visitors most of the year. Four wildlife trails and a handicapped accessible boardwalk and observation tower are available for those wishing to observe the varied habitats of the refuge.

Assateague State Park is Maryland’s only ocean park. It is located on Assateague Island, a barrier island bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by Sinepuxent Bay. Two miles of ocean beaches offer swimming, beachcombing, sunbathing, surfing and fishing. The island’s bayside offers visitors the chance to explore secluded coves by canoe or kayak. The marsh areas have a variety of wildlife, including deer, waterfowl and feral horses. Assateague was selected by National Geographic Travel magazine in 1994 as one of the 10 best state parks in the United States.

The only reason I have this listed here is that they have an annual “hammer-in” in Cordova. Also, my son is a blacksmith so I am obligated to have it posted on this site. The club is dedicated to preserving and promoting the art and craft of hand forging iron. The Guild is an affiliate of the ARTIST-BLACKSMITH ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA. If you go to the hammer in, you can watch the artisans at their craft and purchase forged items. They also demonstrate at other various events and locations. To find out more about it, visit the Blacksmith Guild website.

A challenging course for low, medium, or high handicap golfers, the 18 hole Championship Course places a premium on shotmaking with two nines of contrasting styles. The outward nine plays out of the woods on the first hole and immediately the golfers are faced with wide open wind-swept shots that have to navigate a plethora of bunkers and water hazards. Upon making the turn onto the inward nine, golfers find themselves faced with much longer approach shots through a seemingly never ending forest of loblolly pines to well bunkered greens.

In addition to our 27 holes of golf, we also offer complete learning areas to hone your skills. These areas include an extremely large putting green, a newly designed chipping green complex, and a driving range with both grass (new for 2007) and mat hitting areas. While you’re practicing or playing, you may want to visit our Cafe for some delicious food and beverages!
