Friends of Kinder Farm Park
Kinder Farm Park is located in central Anne Arundel County, Maryland within close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay. The park is on 288 acres and was purchased by the county in 1979 from the original owners, the Kinder Family, who operated a typical Maryland farm from 1898 to the late 1970’s when it was no longer farmed. The farm was primarily operated as a cattle farm after World War II. The county believed the farm could be restored as it had been in the 1930’s and it has been designed to represent a 1930’s depression era farm.
The purpose of the Friends Group is to support the Farm Park with funding and to conduct volunteer activities to highlight a typical working farm set in Maryland during the 1930’s. Due to the unique nature of Kinder Farm Park, the Kinder Friends Group is unique in both the activities it supports as well as the causes for which it seeks funding. The region clearly is well served by having such a Farm Park open to both county and non-county visitors.

Sandy Point State Park
786-acre Sandy Point State Park is located along the Northwestern shore of the majestic Chesapeake Bay. The park’s beaches and picnic areas are well known for their breathtaking scenic water views that overlook one of Maryland’s true treasures, the Chesapeake Bay. The park was first opened on June 25, 1952 and has provided its guests with various activities and services ever since. Some of these activities and services include Swimming Beaches, Picnicking, Fishing, Crabbing, Boating, Hiking, Youth Group Camping, Areas of Historical Interest and Wildlife Viewing. The Park also offers a marina store and boat rentals. Wildlife viewing and bird watching are favorite pastimes for many park visitors. Sandy Point’s location on the Eastern Flyway makes it an ideal location for viewing a large variety of woodland, marsh and migratory waterfowl. A park map is available at the park office.
The park is at the site of a former ferry landing that served the Chesapeake Bay Ferry System. Located at the park is the historic home Sandy Point Farmhouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
Sandy Point State Park is the site of the annual Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge, a polar bear plunge event where participants run into the Chesapeake Bay in winter to raise money for Special Olympics.

Baltimore and Annapolis Trail Park
Earleigh Heights Ranger Station
Planet Walk linear museum of our solar system
The B&A Trail Park encompasses 112 acres and stretches 13.3 miles from Jonas Green Park in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, passing through Arnold, Severna Park, Millersville, and Pasadena. The trail follows the route of the Baltimore & Annapolis Railroad from which it derives its name. The trail opened in 1990 as the second rail trail in the state.
In 1999, the B&A Trail Park was named a National Millennium Trail. The B&A Trail is also a designated component of the East Coast Greenways, a route connecting major cities between Maine and Florida, while the southern portion of the corridor is a segment of the American Discovery Trail, a national trail extending from Delaware to California.
The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises. A gazebo, horticultural gardens and park benches are found at the Hatton-Regester Green property in Severna Park. 80 flowerbeds, all tended by volunteers, grace the park grounds.
The trail includes a Planet Walk sponsored by NASA. The Planet Walk is a linear museum with educational displays for each planet and the sun. The central sculpture, Spectrum, is a 26 foot tall sculpture topped with 9 rings.
At the north end of the trail, the B&A Trail connects to the BWI Airport Trail for another 11 miles of running. At the south end of the trail it is only a short 2 miles to the Naval Academy and Annapolis.
Since 1998, the trail has hosted the popular B&A Trail Marathon and Half Marathon each Spring, which draws approximately 225 marathoners and 650 half marathoners.
