About Elk Neck State Park

The peninsula tip here sits between the Chesapeake Bay and the Elk River, with the historic Turkey Point Light marking the point where the two meet. Land-based and water-based recreation are both available within the park. Its location on MD 272 places it south of North East and south of exit 100 on I-95. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources operates the grounds.

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