About Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park

The Choptank River is the main draw, spanned here by remnants of the former Choptank River Bridge, which were kept in place and repurposed as a fishing pier. The park also holds 25 acres of land upriver from the pier for additional river access. It sits on the Trappe side of the Choptank rather than in Cambridge itself.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
