Colchester on the Severn
Learn about Colchester on the Severn’s private beach and pavilion, with practical questions about waterfront use and public recreation nearby.
Colchester on the Severn is a waterfront community in Severna Park with a private beach and pavilion. Its setting on the Severn makes shoreline gatherings and time on the water central features of the neighborhood. The community association’s website introduces the facilities and provides a pavilion request form.
Beach days and neighborhood gatherings
The beach and pavilion give residents places to spend time together beside the river. For a gathering, use the association’s request process to confirm scheduling and guest arrangements. For a home visit, arrange waterfront access through an authorized resident and ask which membership and facility permissions apply to the address.
A river with a wider story
The Severn was designated a Maryland Scenic River in 1971. Its watershed links numerous communities around the Annapolis and Severna Park area. The county’s watershed overview provides background on the river and why managing runoff matters to people living beside it.
A change of pace on land
The public B&A Trail follows a former railroad corridor through Severna Park. Walking, running and cycling offer a different way to explore the area, and Hatton-Regester Green provides gardens and benches along the trail. Use the trail information and maps to choose an entrance. Private community facilities should be visited by arrangement.
