About this swimming hole

A quiet Kent Island county park with bay swimming and a postcard view of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Trails cross meadows and woods to a peaceful shoreline that stays far calmer than the big state-park beaches. It's a strong pick for a low-key afternoon swim without the admission gates and crowds.
