What To Do Hiking around the sunflower fields, or to the small beach for trinkets, is a peaceful daytime escape. Hikers, all terrain bicyclists and bird-watchers will find hours of diversion as they head down the trail toward Pocomoke Sound. The scenery and the waterfowl, shorebirds and marshbirds on the way will make even an amateur photographer look like a professional. The deer hunting is excellent as is hunting for cottontail rabbits, mourning doves, bobwhite quail, woodcock and gray squirrels. Limited waterfowl hunting is possible on the marsh.
Fur trapping is permitted by a yearly lease.
The waters yield plenty of crabs, croaker, sea trout, bluefish and rockfish from the shoreline. Mosquitoes and other biting insects are common from spring through early fall. Bring insect repellent, minimize exposed skin and wear light-colored clothing. Maryland Marine Properties WMA is located in southeastern Somerset County off of Back Shelltown Road.
