Greenwell State Park
Greenwell State Park is a public recreation area located on the Patuxent River in St. Mary's County, Maryland. The state park features the historic Rosedale Manor House as well as the Bonds-Simms tobacco barns complex. Park activities include hiking, cycling, horseback riding, fishing, picnicking, hunting, swimming, and canoeing.
History
The park originated in 1971, when John Phillip Greenwell, Jr. and his sister, Mary Wallace Greenwell, donated their 167 acre farm to the state for use as a public park. The state subsequently purchased the adjacent 430 acre Bond property and added it to the park.
