This 43 acre park is located in the Potomac River off the shore of Colton's Point in St. Mary's County. On March 25, 1634, the first English settlers under the Baltimore proprietorship sailed to St. Clement's Island on the Ark and the Dove. (A replica of the Maryland Dove can be seen at Historic St. Mary's City). Call the St. Clement's Island Museum (301-769-2222) for more information and schedule of operation of the water taxi. ​Extenuating circumstances and adverse weather conditions will prevent the water taxi from operating. The 20 passenger vessel, “The Water Taxi II”, is fully insured and is a U.S. Coast Guard certified tour boat. The park includes a hiking trail and picnicking at a pavilion, which is available on a first-come/first-serve basis.  St. Clements Island State Park is equipped with a composting toilet and has no accessible amenities.​ For available accessible amenities in Maryland State Forests and Parks, visit the Accessibility For All section of this website.
