The forest is famous for its stand of loblolly pine trees. Cypress swamps border the Pocomoke River and the nearby waters provide good fishing. Two areas in the forest, including the swamp, are designated Wildlands Areas. Tuckahoe Creek, a quiet country stream bordered for most of it's length by wooded marshlands, runs through the length of the park. A 60-acre lake offers boating and great fishing opportunities, Tuckahoe offers 35 quiet, secluded campsites as well as a youth group camping area.
Pets are permitted in the campground, canoes are available for rent.
Wye Island NRMA is located in the tidal recesses of the Chesapeake Bay between the Wye River and the Wye East River. The area is used mostly for agricultural and resource management. A small conference lodge is available for rental for meetings. This park is named for its 400 year old white oak tree, which is the largest in the United States.
