Review:
Rich in history, North Point State Park is much more than a beautiful beach and dense forest. The 1,310-acre park off Chesapeake Bay was formerly a popular amusement park from the 1900s to 1940s. Over the years, nature reclaimed the land and it was eventually purchased by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to create a state park.
Many structures from the amusement park are still standing today such as a restored fountain and an original trolley station, which now serves as a picnicking area.
The park’s beach offers sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay along with water-accessible areas and two fishing piers.
Trails also wind through the park, allowing hikers to explore the protected Black Marsh Wildlands which make up more than half the park.
