Pocomoke River State Park Milburn Landing

 The scenic
Pocomoke River is the setting for the Pocomoke River State Forest and Park, Shad
Landing, and Milburn Landing areas.
Shad Landing is on the south side of the Pocomoke River off Route 113. Milburn
Landing is on the north side of the river on Route 364. It is a 25 minute drive
between the two areas of Pocomoke River State Park.
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. |
