Come to Smallwood State Park for a guided bird hike with Ranger Jones while enjoying the beautiful colors and songs that are flying all over the park. On this hike, we'll explore various habitats that winter birds rely on. Along the way, we'll learn about some of the adaptations that help birds endure winter weather and about the foods they eat during this season. This hike is approximately .75 miles and starts at 9:30 AM at the Sweden Point Discovery Center.

Additional Details:
The trail is flat though woodland and meadow areas. Please dress for the weather and be sure to bring drinking water and snacks. Because we will be looking for birds, we ask that you leave your pet(s) at home so we don't scare off any potential feathered sights. Bring binoculars if you have them. Suitable for all ages. Entrance fee is per vehicle at $3/MD resident and $5/out of state resident. Portable restrooms are located near the boat launch area and at the Discovery Center.

Distance: 0.75 miles
