The Chesapeake Beach Rail Trail is a rail-to-trail connector trail network located along the route of the former Chesapeake Beach Railway, which operated between 1900 and 1935 and served as a popular transportation route to the beachfront resort attractions of Chesapeake Beach.
The railway corridor was redeveloped by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and now showcases the region's stunning marshland and creek areas for area walkers, joggers, and cyclists. Much of the trail sits atop a wooden boardwalk over Fishing Creek, creating unique natural panoramas for travelers. Many of the area's attractions are accessible via the trail, including the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum, located at the trail's trailhead.
