Flag Ponds Nature Park

Calvert County, MD · shoreline

Flag Ponds Nature Park on the Calvert County western Bay shore offers beach and cliff shoreline fishing in a relatively undeveloped setting. White perch and stripers are the primary targets from the beach. Good fossil-hunting site as a bonus.

Day-use fee. No fishing pier — shoreline/beach only. Calvert Cliffs geology makes for an unusual fishing setting. Closed in winter.
