Park Highlights
About the Park
Beverly Triton Nature Park is located in Edgewater, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. Sandwiched between the South and Rhode River, Beverly Triton offers scenic views and a mile of natural shoreline. The park is home to the many creatures who depend on the Chesapeake Bay shoreline for their livelihood.
Not only does Beverly Triton Nature Park offer amazing access to the Chesapeake Bay, it also has five miles of natural trails that weave along the shoreline, into the forest, and around brackish ponds.
