Font Hill Wetlands Park is a lovely 26-acre park developed in 1997 as the first state-county-private cooperative wetland project in the state of Maryland. The beautiful park serves as a habitat to study wetland wildlife in its natural environment, anchored around three interconnecting ponds surrounded by a boardwalk system.
Visitors can stroll through the park's boardwalk habitats and wind through gorgeous marsh areas, which showcase cattails and native trees. Over 150 species of wildlife are showcased throughout the park, including dozens of species of dragonflies and damselflies. Several fishing piers are open to the public, along with wildlife observation areas for relaxation. Font Hill Wetlands Park is about an hour from DC.
