Route description
View west along MD 365 at US 113 near Snow Hill

MD 365 begins at an intersection with US 113 Business (Market Street) just east of downtown Snow Hill. The state highway heads east as two-lane undivided Bay Street. MD 365 crosses the Snow Hill Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad at-grade before leaving the town limits of Snow Hill, where the name of the highway changes to Public Landing Road. After passing the Worcester County Recreation Center, the state highway intersects US 113 (Worcester Highway) at a superstreet intersection, in which MD 365 traffic must turn right, use U-turn ramps along US 113, and turn right again to continue on MD 365. Following this, the route crosses Pattys Branch. MD 365 passes through the hamlets of Mount Wesley and Spence before entering Public Landing. The state highway reaches its eastern terminus at Public Landing Wharf Road adjacent to the shore of Chincoteague Bay.[1][2]
