Jack Creek Park is a gated park with a combination lock. Access to the park is limited due to site conditions and capacity. Park only in fenced parking lot and not on the road. Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks reserves the right to close the park or restrict access for operational, maintenance, or safety reasons. The gate must be secured immediately upon entering and leaving the park. 

Jack Creek Park is nearly sixty acres of natural landscape in beautiful bucolic southern Anne Arundel County. The Department of Recreation and Parks has partnered with community members represented by West/Rhode Riverkeeper staff and supported by the Public Water Access Committee to improve access and provide a natural trail network at this waterfront property.    

This park features approximately 3,000 feet of marsh, forest and sand shoreline along Jack Creek and the Chesapeake Bay. Passive enjoyment, including nature study and hiking, are ideal activities at this site. Limited parking and access will allow for public enjoyment while protecting the natural resources.

All trash must be taken with you or placed in trash receptacles, if available. Insect repellant is highly recommended. There is a potential for poison ivy exposure.
