About Newtowne Neck State Park

A peninsula bordered by Breton Bay, St. Clements Bay, and the Potomac River forms the core of this park. The surrounding water on three sides shapes the landscape, setting it apart from typical inland parkland. Maryland's Department of Natural Resources oversees the site, which has held state park status since 2009.

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