South River Park offers several waterfront facilities for residents’ use. Users are asked to clean up the area after use as well as to respect the rights of adjacent property owners. If you have questions about the facilities, please contact Walter Leisersohn, Chair of the Waterfront Committee.

Boat Launch Ramp

Community facilities include one boat launch ramp located at the end of Park Road. Guidelines for use of the ramp are found below. There is no parking at the ramp facility so users are encouraged to take their trailer home or use the parking lot at the Club House on Circle Drive. The gate to the boat ramp is locked. Residents desiring to use the facility may obtain a key from Walter Leisersohn, Chair of the Waterfront Committee.

The community has two piers for fishing, crabbing or sunbathing. The “Long Pier” is located at the end of Riverside Road. That pier property also has a picnic table available for day users.  The “Short Pier” is located at the end of Park Road. There are no other facilities available at that pier. No parking is provided at either pier so users generally walk to the facility. Both piers are open from dawn to dusk. Click here for regulations concerning the use of the boat ramp and piers.

Kayak/Paddle Board Racks

A Kayak/Paddle Board Rack is available located at the John Ingalls' Beach.  Use is available on a first come/first serve basis. Security at each rack is the responsibility of the user and the community it not liable for any damages or loss. Parking is not available near the racks, so it is recommended that after drop off, users return their vehicles home.

Water Quality Sampling Results

Arundel Rivers samples for bacteria at Ingalls' Beach every Thursday between Memorial Day and Labor Day.  These results will be pasted below when they are received from Arundel Rivers, usually on Friday afternoon.  If the data below appear out of date, more recent data may be available on the Arundel Rivers facebook page or at https://www.theswimguide.org/affiliates/arundel-rivers-federation/

The acceptable concentration of Enterococci bacteria for swimming and other direct water contact is less than 104 (cfu) colony forming units/100ml. 

Anne Arundel County has a 48 hour no swimming/recreational use guidance of water ways after a rain event.  Feces from geese and dogs, as well as leaky septic tanks are the top contributors to high bacteria results.  Please pick up after your pets!

Results for Thursday 8/31/2023.

COMMUNITY PARK & GARDENS

South River Park has two park and garden areas.

Ingalls Beach is located on Riverside Road.  The property no longer has an active beach, but offers a serene view of Warehouse Creek as well as the park property.  A kayak rack is located on the property and plans are underway to improve water access by canoeists, paddle boarders, and kayakers.

The community gardens at the Club House are also maintained by volunteers. In addition to landscaping the park grounds, the Beautification Committee is developing a South River Park Memory Garden as a place to reflect on happy memories in South River Park as well as community members who are no longer with us. Plantings in this area include specimens from gardens of those gone as well as other plantings in memory of past residents.
