Pemberton Park is located on Pemberton Drive on the west side of Salisbury, Maryland, just a short distance from Route 50. The park's 262 acres offers the opportunity to hike 4.5 miles of Maryland nature trails, appreciate the beauty of nature and participate in environmental education, historical interpretation or special event activities. Informational brochures are available in the contact building near the parking lot. Brochures include trail guides illustrating various environmental features, bird and plant brochures and special event listings. Information is also available regarding "Friends of Pemberton" membership.
While hiking the trails, you will encounter ecosystems and their natural complement of plants and animals that are specific to many different regions of the Eastern Shore. It is rare to find any other place on the Eastern Shore where tidal and fresh water wetlands, fresh water ponds, upland pines, hardwood forests and meadows can all be studied within the same site. This unique feature, when coupled with the historical aspects of Pemberton Park, makes it especially attractive for school studies or a casual hike.

A really nice landmark. There is a beautiful historic home on the grounds and a picnic area for you to bring food and or grill. There are multiple hiking areas and the trails are wonderfully kept.

We spent New Year’s Day here with the whole family, dogs included! It was the perfect spot for a holiday hike. The trails were well-maintained and our pups absolutely loved the adventure. A wonderful way to start the year in nature!

Pemberton Park is such a hidden gem in Salisbury. I’ve been here many times and it’s always so peaceful and beautiful. The trails are great — they wind through the woods and along the water, so there’s always something pretty to see. It’s one of my favorite spots for birdwatching, hiking, or just bringing a picnic and relaxing for a while.
It’s family-friendly and super easy to spend a whole afternoon here just enjoying nature. They also have events on some weekends, which makes it even more fun to visit. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!
