Beschrijving
Fort Smallwood Park consists of 90 acres at the tip of the peninsula Fort Smallwood was in use as a military installation from 1890 until 1927, and was one of a series of forts providing an important defense to the approach to Baltimore Harbor. After decommissioning, it became a public park. Habitats here include a sandy beach, a freshwater pond, mature hardwoods and conifers, mowed grassy areas, and a rock jetty. The park offers easy walking with no hills.
