Sightseeing & Nature
Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge
Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge is a local treasure. Approximately 8 miles south of downtown Rock Hall, the Refuge welcomes sightseers, birders, and nature enthusiasts of all ages!
Established in 1962, Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge is a major feeding and roosting place for wintering and migratory waterfowl, including thousands of Tundra swans from mid-November to late February. Ospreys, Bald Eagles and Brown-headed Nuthatches are among the 70+ species of nesting birds on the refuge. Good hiking trails, an observation platform, a boat launch ramp, and a visitor center are open year round.
Rock Hall Harbor
The Rock Hall Harbor bustles with activity about nine months a year with local work boats bringing in their catch and cruisers from near and far heading to marinas, public dock, or dining. Two popular restaurants, Waterman’s Crab House and Harbor Shack, are right on the Harbor with indoor and outdoor dining. Both offer limited dock space for boaters to tie up while dining. Come by land or by sea and enjoy good food, good friends, and spectacular views. Adjacent to Harbor Shack is a public boat ramp and Bayside Park offers transient slips and a pool. Sunsets are spectacular – don’t miss them while you’re in Rock Hall.
Events & Activities
Many of our annual events including spring and fall Bike Fests, Pirates & Wenches Weekend, Waterman’s Day and Fall Fest are held around town and at the Harbor. Rock Hall is a popular starting point or destination stop for cyclists. Our town also plays host to several local running events and, twice a year, a triathlon weekend event.
