Jonas Green Park

This park may be small, but it has a lot to offer. There are gorgeous views of the Severn River, especially if you take advantage of 24/7 fishing from the pier. 

The park is named after a local Colonial-era printer. It’s situated near the U.S. Naval Academy Bridge and is part of the East Coast Greenway, a national trail that winds up the coast from Florida to Maine. 

You’ll meet canoers, kayakers, hikers and bikers. You might even spy an artist or two perfecting their plein air painting techniques. 

Be advised that swimming is not allowed because of the river’s strong undercurrent. Aside from that, the fun never ends, and admission is free.
