Review:
Point Lookout State Park is located on a peninsula between the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. During the Civil War, the park was the location of a notorious prison camp that held more than 52,264 Confederate soldiers.
Point Lookout is a popular family holiday destination for folks from the Washington, D. C. area.
There is a boat launch, a range of campsites in the park’s shady wooded areas, picnic areas, kids’ playgrounds, and great swimming on the beach. The park is popular with anglers and there are three great fishing areas, including the 710-foot fishing pier. There is also a network of hiking trails and the Marshland Nature Center.
