Rehobeth

The Rehobeth Boat Ramp in Westover, Somerset County provides free public access to the Pocomoke River and Rehobeth Branch. This launch point is managed by the Somerset County Roads Department and includes a parking area suitable for boat trailers. The location offers water access to both the river and Pocomoke Sound, making it a practical starting point for paddlers and boaters exploring this scenic southeastern Maryland waterway.

The Pocomoke River stretches approximately 66 miles from southern Delaware through southeastern Maryland, with the upper portions flowing through the Great Cypress Swamp—a relatively remote wetland area. Near Rehobeth, the river transitions toward its lower reaches, where it eventually connects with Chesapeake Bay. The area is notable for diverse wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for birdwatchers, with over 110 species documented in the region. The nearby Wallops Island National Wildlife Refuge provides additional recreation potential during designated public access seasons.

For those planning a trip, be aware that this is a modest access facility in a quieter area compared to other regional boat ramps like Shad Landing upriver. Check with Somerset County Roads Department for any current conditions, parking details, or seasonal considerations before your visit.
