Worcester County 



OCATED ON THE EASTERN SHORE, 

 Worcester County is Maryland's only coastal 

 county, with lots of seaside beaches, bays and 

 barrier islands along the Atlantic for exploring and 

 birding. Assateague Island State Park and National 

 Seashore is home to the state's famous wild pony herd 

 as well as piping plovers and elusive sika deer. With the 

 beautiful black-water Pokomoke River and its forests 

 and cypress swamps as well, the county's varied habitats 

 play host to more than 350 species of birds, the most in 

 the state.

 trading, fishing and local Native American historical culture. For exploring 

 the river, the Nature Conservancy maintains a mile-long trail through the 

 Pocomoke Forest and over the Nassawango Cypress Swamp, along Nassawango 

 Creek, shaded by ancient bald cvpress and black gum trees. The swamp is

 species as wild turkeys and an assortment of warblers.
