This is an area of over three hundred and sixty acres. It has wooded Trails as well as open Trails. Has a dog Park and a dog beach. Its a great place to take a long walk with your dog. I especially enjoy the gardens. Theres also really nice picnic areas too. Very quiet with deer roaming about.

Went here for a fall wedding, beautiful location overlooking water, sail boats, landscape well maintained. They rent on 2 hour slots, no birdseed, rice etc. But bubbles worked great. Very cost effective $240. Great for pictures as well

Beautiful Park. Right on the water. Great places to sit and watch boats. Lots of great trails. Handicapped accessible. I dont have a dog but they had lots of places for dogs (dog park, dog beach)

This place is so nice with much much to do. There’s a $6 entrance fee. The park is so big, there are boat rentals, lots of pavilions for picnics. Long trails for hiking, lots of benches and playground for kids. There are beautiful views of south river and the creek. So calming!

Awesome place, has pavilions you can rent with double sided grills in the pavilions for rain or shine entertainment. There are grills on the outside of the pavilion and plenty of playground areas for children and theres also a dog park. Plenty of open fields too. Bring your hiking shoes too.... Awesome trails that are pretty level and the ones I was on was paved.

Great park. Very spacious. Lots of trails. Has a large dog park frequented by lots of dogs. Also has a separate dog beach if your puppy likes the water.

Very clean and spacious park, a perfect place for families especially during this pandemic. Every visitors were maintaining social distancing, along with masks. The $6 entry fees seemed more, but after spending time at the park, it was all forgotten. Our family had a good time in this park, well maintained and lots of places, surrounded with trees to walk around and enjoy!

Theres a huge number of things to do here, but I know the dog park best. Its huge, has two large enclosed areas, fresh water, benches, shade, and even toys. A tired dog is a happy dog, and I havent found a better way to exhaust my pup than for her to chase and wrestle and play with a mini-pack of other dogs. Make sure you take a look at the rules when you come, but have fun!

Love the walking trails. Plenty of places to hangout with friends. Really nice dog beach

This place is great! The park has wonderful walking trails and lovely views of Harness Creek and the South River. The boat rental facility is fantastic! Kayaks, paddle boards, canoes and peddle boats are available on the creek. The rates are reasonable and the staff are great. Take a peaceful moment and give the park a try!

Beautiful park. Went to the photos for my daughters birthday. I love the scenery here.

Quiet Waters is such a great space. We enjoy just biking through. Have also enjoyed the dog park in the past as well. Such a gem for our community.

Beautiful parkland. Handling health precautions well.

This was the #1 park I wanted to visit on our trip to Annapolis. We got here much later than we wanted and only had about 25 minutes before the park closed (8:30pm on a Wednesday in August, closes at dusk) so we just drive around for 15 minutes or so and I got some pictures. We did not have to pay to enter/for parking since the gatehouse was closed. Usually it is $6 to enter the park. This park has some beautiful views and great opportunity for photos. It has several hiking trails, picnic areas, dog park, dog beach, boat launch, boat rental, streams, ponds, compost area, playgrounds, a ton of parking, pavilions, a visitor center/gardens/blue heron center, gazebo, 3 separate restrooms, etc. The park is very clean. We saw some people walking and running at night. The best part about this park is all the deer we saw! We saw over 40 deer (bucks, does, and fawn) randomly driving through the park. I love animals so this was a treat. We would have loved to get here early and walk around. If we are back in Annapolis again in the future, we will spend more time here.

Great park! First time Ive ever been and the trails were great. The dog beach was amazing! So many dogs and owners there, and my girl had a blast. She actually normally hates the water, but went so far out she had to swim there. The park is well maintained, the staff is friendly, and, again, the dog beach is the best thing ever!!!!

Love going out to Quiet Waters! It’s always a fan fav for my photography clients.

Fantastic customer service at the cash register. Very informative and helpful. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends so get there early. The price is a bit high imo, but I suppose its location. There are lots of boats, yachts, and jellyfish in the water! Be careful. Besides that, great equipment... the SUP were steady, firm, and easy to use.

I go to the dog park very often and its awesome.

Beautiful park with nice scenery, wildlife and plenty of amenities. Great for picnics or casual outings, as well as long hikes up and down the trails.

Absolutely beautiful park! Probably one of the best places to get on the quiet Bay waters and get your dog on the beach. Many of the trails are heavily shaded, which is great on these super hot sunny days. Great for canoeing and paddle boarding.

A man and his music staying on the walking trail. Great day.

Love the Kayak /boat rental dock! Scott and his crew are terrific! Hiking is beautiful as there are many deer paths that allow private quiet time, also have plenty of paved paths. 300 acres, beautiful waterfront on the South River. Dog beach for the fur babies, with a shower to clean them off.

Very pretty park with miles of walking trails. Great place to have a picnic or have small gatherings under the pavilions.

Nice looking place with paved trails. There is a cost per car, however they offer discounts for qualified folks and military is free!

Beautiful park with great diversity of terrain and activities for all.And right in the middle of a trail (I almost stepped on them) it provided a National Geographic moment, and answer to a trivia question I would not have known the answer to - How do turtles do it?

Just a really great place to exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature and living near the water! Peaceful and Quiet

Very quiet. Very watery . Fun dog beach. Relaxing.

Super cute place to take your dog. I love all the doggy areas. So much fun

Great park! Plenty of trails, a dog beach and park, pavilions and open spaces to play games.

Love the dog park and dog beach! Really clean and well maintained park with a lot of trail options.

Very nice paths and views. Its why its the place we got engaged and married.

Great park to walk , run , look for wild animals , look over the water, bring your dogs to the dog park or dog beach, amazing Venue for weddings, parties, etc.Quite waters is very well maintained and gray place for children also .

Very nice place! For our first time there!Plenty of paved walking and minimal hiking! (That we found or should I didnt find.)They do have what they call an exercise trail that is supposed to go around the very outskirts of the property! ( Be careful we ended up down a couple of what I would call a cul-de-sac trail!)Once we finally found it! Which was somewhat confusing! We were able to follow it for the most part, but ended up lost a couple of times trying to get back where we started!This is not what we are used to! Most of trails we hike whether natural or paved, usually are marked pretty well, with blazes, arrows etc. Thats why I gave only 4 s!They did have maps posted to assist in finding your way, but honestly they get a little confusing.I will say though once we got to certain parts of the trail that was close to the water, or lake. There were little stop offs with benches, and some with picnic tables! Did have some beautiful views throughout!They do have a doggy park, the also have plenty of parking throughout!We did see basketball court and tennis court I think.. small kids climbing park! They have different types of boat rentals too! I still would definitely recommend this place though!

First time visiting Quiet Waters Park. A very nice and large park to enjoy some sunshine and beautiful weather. There were many places to sit relax and enjoy the view. It is not exactly close to my house but if it were I would definitely visit more often.

Stunning. What a gift to have it as a part of our community.

I was looking for a nice place to take my dogs. There was construction at the time, plus not everything was open due to winter hours. I paid a fee through the machine. No humans were working. There weren’t any lifeguards either. I did not find dog park or trails listed, again a lot of construction is probably the reason. I did find this empty part of the beach. The dogs loved it. Very neat and clean. Trash cans in parking lot for waste. Restrooms were open. This was during the week and construction workers were there. Maybe not open on weekends when no one is there.

A small beach but the dogs have fun and its fenced in mostly so easy to control dogs.

We had a great time at the park exploring, riding bikes, and visiting the waterfront and dog beach. Very clean park with plenty of things to do.

Went here on a whim to get some fresh air while in Annapolis. My partner and I grabbed some vittles and headed to the park. We were able to find a quiet out of the way picnic table and eat. Then we drove down towards the dog beach. I put it in quotes because, while it was a dog beach, it had all kinds and groups of people walking around.All in all, Quiet Waters lived up to its name that day. Most people were good about social distancing as well.

Super quiet. Awesome place to drown the kids. I mean, take the kids.

Paved trails, decent restrooms, nice view of the bay, and a lot of happy dogs. Great for a good long walk. If youre an avid hiker it will wont get your heart rate up much. Ask for a trail map on your way in.

Man this place is beautiful! Could barely get everything done in one day. Will be there a lot!

Well-maintained. Lovely walking trails.

Lovely dog beach and hiking trails. Can get crowded on the weekend, but overall great place.

Lovely bayside park with walking trails, an outdoor pavilion for events, and a main building with amenities. Lots of space for kids to run and romantic spots for couples.

Qoet Waters Park, beautiful, serene, quaint!

Pretty much always other dogs there for my dog to play with

Beautiful place for pictures. We took my daughters 19th birthday pictures here with a photographer.

Beautiful park. Lots to do. Free admission now. Socially responsible activities galore -- walking, biking, playground, water vistas, photography, dog parks, etc. Ample parking too!

I visited Quiet Waters Park with a friend yesterday and had a nice time. According to her fitness app we walked exactly 5 miles along the multiple trails they have available. The park is lovely with many pavillions for larger get togethers, a visitor center, amphitheater, gazebo over looking a turtle pond and fountain, a dog park, dog beach, playground and lots of just grassy open spaces for lounging. The park is VERY well maintained and clean. Aside from the trails and Composting Demostration Area, there are not a lot of attractions there, so be prepared to entertain yourself. It was fairly crowded, surprisingly so in fact despite the fact that it was a Saturday with cloudy but very comfortable weather, so parking was tight. There were at least 3 limousines there servicing at least one wedding, so that may be why. The entry fees are per vehicle and reasonable with varying rates for seniors and veterans. Check the website for current fees. My only complaint was 1 mile of the 5 we walked was spent on a trail near the end of the loop at the Composting Site. It turns out that despite the red blazes on the trees, it is not an official park trail and we had walked 1/2 mile down it when we encountered a couple that told us it went on for quite some time and terminated in a residential area. A sign stating that, or a map at that trailhead would have been helpful. Otherwise, GO! Pack up the family and the dogs and and spend a few hours at least walking around, picnicing, playing, communing with the abundant nature there, whatever you want to do. Its a nice place to do it,and kudos to the people that work so hard to maintain it so well!

So restful, beautiful walking trails, benches & beaches to rest on for a while, and safe havens for our dogs to run & play! Go early while its hot!Close to Paradise!

Very nice, plenty of parking, lots to do, shade and no shade. Easy trails and some hills.

Theres an offleash dog beach. 5/5 would recommend

We were married here. Its a beautiful place.

Really nice trails to run and bike on.

A really nice park. Not too crowded when we went. The dog beach was more crowded than the places people sit near the water...it was also more stinky! Sadly, people dont always clean up after their dogs

My dog loves the dog park and has such a great time playing with other dogs in the water

Great dog park. Cant wait to go back.

Class & Beauty embrace in a magnificent park on Middle River.

Beautiful, wooded trails and water venues for people & dogs!

Lovely, quiet, beautiful trails and lake. Nice fall colors this time of year. Bring cash for the outdoor skating rink by the visitor center.Photos unedited/phone pics.

Wonder, beautiful setting. Have to pay an entrance fee, but its a small investment with great returns.

Scenic, close to DC metro area, affordable entry fee ($6), beautiful trails!

Its a lovely park with great water views

Great picnic areas with nice scenic views to the bay at the end of the trail. I loved the paved roads, the large green fields, playground, and the outdoor ice skating rink in the winter. I can’t wait for my future visit in the spring and early summer season :).

Quiet Waters Park really lives up to its name, very relaxing

I absolutely LOVE this park. There is so much to see and trails to walk. I come here just to sit and be at peace with myself and nature. Not to mention all of the activities they offer during the summer time. Great please..

One of the best parks with nature trails in MD. We visit frequently even though we are an hour away

Enjoyable park with a dog park, dog beach and plenty of running trails top run, walk or stroll on. They also offer free concerts on Saturdays over the summer that are cool for families with young kids.

Beautiful and plenty of parking, dog friendly, eco friendly

Beautiful water views, great walking trails and beautiful scenery. I sometimes go to the dog park. There are two sides. One for large dogs and the other side are for small dogs. I sometimes see weddings under the gazebo. They also have a art exhibition in the center that is worth checking out.

Relaxing. Face masks were abundant.

Beautiful public park. Wonderful gardens and trails.

This is an amazing park in Annapolis. Great trails to hike and get outside.

Plenty of open space, trails, and although obviously a dog friendly place, there is still quiet nooks and huge open spaces available for those without pets. Kayak boat bike rentals, fountains, and fishing available, too. A very nice park in Anne Arundel County, MD! Discount daily/annual pass for county residents on entrance.

The park was great -- as usual. But sorry to see several trees had been torn down by the recent storms.

Gorgeous Public Park! This is a beautiful slice of heaven. A hidden gem, kinda. Winter, early Spring skating rink. 6 plus miles of trailes, dog beach, and views of the Chesapeake Bay, South River and Harness creek. You can rent bicycles, kayaks, etc in the warmer weather. Our little divine hideaway.

Beautiful serene great for walks and gatherings with family

Like the trails and the boat rentals were reasonable.

South River overlookCafeteria (except during civid-19)Ice rinkpavilionsPlaygroundFlushiesDog parks

Very well maintained and with a variety of things to do, including dogs areas!

Such a nice place to spend the day!Make sure you carry cash to pay as entrance fee.

Great views of the water and easy paved walking paths through the woods. Very well maintained.

Great park with expansive trails, South River gazebo overlook and rental paddle boats in season, also an outdoor summer concert series. Events thru the year and dog park areas. Childrens playgrounds, wedding venue..ice skating in winter. Something for everyone!my original photos..

Park is open dusk to Dawn. Always park rangers driving around maintaining the facilities. If you stay on the paved path, you get roughly ~5.5 miles if youre interested in running it. And you get roughly ~3 miles on the blazed trails that run through the woods. Most all of the trails are shaded to make running/cycling a little more tolerable on those hot summer days! They have a dog park, as well as a little beach for the dogs to get into the water!

My dog loves the beach and dog park, I love the trails and ice rink! Favorite local park. I get the annual pass each year.

Beautiful bay views and short walking trails.

Excellent work from Anne Arundel count services. The place is expansive with room to play, hike, and roam. I recently visited in winter to take kids to their outdoor ice rink and it was great for us, with little crowd.

What a great county park. Trails everywhere, different waterfront areas, boats/kayaks in the summer, ice skating in the winter, a playground, multiple picnic areas. Easy to spend an hour or all day here...plenty for the whole family and for any occasion.

Really beautiful park. Quiet, and the pavilions are nice. My friend had her wedding here and it was great!

Very pretty park.

This is a really great park. My wife and I came here for an event but from what we saw in driving through it is large with many walking trails and just a lot of different areas for having a family cook out or just relaxing. Definitely gets you away from the hustle and bustle and into the quiet of nature for a while.

So this is a very big park. 340 acres just outside Annapolis Md. It has 6 miles of trails. It has many pavilions and parking. It has a water pond Im told you can ice skate on in the winter. It also borders the south river so you can rent from a 3rd party kayaks and canoes and paddle boards. It has many exersise areas and this is a very pet friendly park as well. Now I have heard in the past that this park has had some crime issues. So best saftey practices should be employed. There are security and staff all around and I have seen police there as well and I didnt feel unsafe.

$6 per car to come in. Very nice park and trails. Was looking for beach around the area and it says there is one here but its a doggy beach and no swimming allowed, a little bit disappointed but we found a really nice place to sit and have a little picnic. A really nice park ranger was walking around and stopped by and told us about a hidden path that you can brave in. Turn right(not the path going to the doggy beach) and keep going straight, theres some rocks and just keep trekking across. You can picnic there but no swimming also and cant fish there. Either way, an enjoyable place

Nice long continuous trail and wonderful views of the South River

I absolutely loved my visit.

This is a very beautiful, breathtaking environment, which takes you on close intimate experience with nature.

Great place.. large area with a bunch of activity areas.. cover fee to get in was $6.. closed on tuesdays.. we will be back.. well worth the hour drive from NoVA.

Free access for veterans. This is a great park; the trails are clean and the tall trees provide a good amount of shade on a hot summer day. Once on the water, the ambient temperature dropped which was a nice surprise. The company which rents the kayaks, etc. is very friendly and the equipment is well maintained. They offer a $5 discount for veterans and active duty and will also offer first time visitors a $5 discount card for future visits. Portable toilets are found at the boat rental area.

Loved the view that this park had to offer from the dog beach area
