The best state park so far! Amazing views, calm water, the best picnic spots, and cool cabins. If you’re looking for a calm and peaceful vacation, you’ve found the perfect place at Elk Neck State Park.

Beautiful Park. A few areas are closed for repairs and upgrades. Parking for the lighthouse has been expanded and is open. So much better than the old gravel lot with only a few Parking spots. Close to North East MD.

A Peaceful spot in Chesapeake Bay. We hiked the lighthouse trail and the Wapiti pond trail. Luckily the lighthouse was open during Memorial weekend. And the volunteer who guided tourists was the descendant of the lighthouse keeper more than a hundred years ago. He spent Memorial Day in a perfect way, at the spot where he grew up. We had fun hiking, the air full of the sweet aroma of honeysuckles.... A Peaceful spot in Chesapeake Bay. We hiked the lighthouse trail and the Wapiti pond trail.

A wonderful day trip.

Great quiet place to get away from busy life style. The trail has gotten shorter than before since they have constructed a new large parking lot. Looks much better than before and clean. Great picnic spot right by the water.

I visited Turkey Point Lighthouse at Elk Neck State Park on 10/26/25 for a wedding proposal. The view was beautiful, landscaping was well maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Park Ranger Jimmy was extremely helpful and personable.
