Oregon Ridge Beach

Oregon Ridge Beach

Voted Baltimore's best swimming hole in 1995, the beach at Oregon Ridge is one of Baltimore County's best kept secrets. Originally excavated for iron ore in the 1800's, the former quarry is filled with spring fed water and provides welcome relief from the summer heat.  Why spend all day driving to Ocean City when the white sands and cool waters of Oregon Ridge are just minutes away? 

The beach operates Memorial Day weekend and subsequent weekends until school is dismissed for the summer, then daily through Labor Day. The quarry has designated shallow and deep swim areas and is staffed with independently certified lifeguards.

Additional features include a bathhouse, concession stand, picnic tables, grills, playground, sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits. A small pavilion which accommodates 50, and the Lake Overlook Room located above the bathhouse are available to rent for that special occasion. 

Beach Pavillion

The beach is open to the public for a nominal fee and season passes are available for individuals or families. Groups of 25 or more receive discounted rates. Outings can be arranged before, during and after the swim season by contacting the park office. During the summer, you may confirm rates, hours and dates of operation and directions by calling the beach directly at 410-887-1817.
