Having found the occasion, I discovered the park was free, had some nicely kept facilities, and more paths than I had time to go through in bad weather. A variety of environments from swamp to beach await. There is too little public land on the bay, and this was one of the larger stretches in the area. And hey, you need to get out of the car every now and then.

Only really issue was trail signage, did not have a map (should have took a picture at entrance) so trail signage was not the greatist. The Map Legend at entrance did not have a legend that we saw so distance was a guess. Overall, nice park, be back in the Summer.

It's a perfect secluded environment right on the bay with some of the best sunset views. The staff were both respectful of our privacy and very attentive if we ever needed anything. My absolute favorite part was the coffee drop-off every morning. It was an extra touch that made the mornings effortlessly relaxing with a cup of coffee while you watched the boats putt around the bay.

As you cross the Choptank River on US 50 East, you can see the park in the distance on the right side. Stay on the far right lane when you cross the bridge. Once you reach the Cambridge side of the river, take a right onto Byrn St. (which lacks a big sign) or at the traffic light (Maryland Ave.), then another right turn which will lead you toward the parking lot. We stopped by here in late December 2020 on a cold, sunny day. Inside the park, you will find clean public restrooms, the Dorchester County Visitors Center, and a lovely view of the river. The public facilities are open 8:30am-5:30pm every day. Parking is easy and free. The park also has a kid's playground and room to stretch your legs. If you have any family members who enjoy fishing, you can also walk on a path along the river under the Route 50 bridge. On the other side is a huge fishing pier!

We had a great time camping there. Sorry no pics. We did the Amish 62 mile bike ride and decided to…read morecamp and I was exhausted. It's a smaller State park and slightly confusing with the direction's but the staff was helpful just get a map. We camped in a "walk back" section of E. Very spacious sites with the bathroom/shower reasonably close. Parking was "ok"..... but they fill up and then you have to use overflow. The bathrooms/showers were clean BUT I guess I'm used to sites that spray repellent because nature is boss. We drove through the comfort sites of D and they were too tight for my liking. They have yurts and cabins but for me a tad too close. They do have an Island camp site Loved it!!!!! That's a must do. It's 2 sites across a short walking bridge with water view and access. I would definitely go back.

One thing I don't understand is why the Park Maintenance people don't cut the Wisteria growth on the trees? Some trees have vines over two inches in diameter.

[Coronavirus review] Tons of people drive past the turnoff…read morefor this place on the way to the beach without ever giving it a thought. Is it worth making a detour? In our social distancing era, the calculus changes perhaps, as the beaches will be crowded and this place will not. Most of the actual preserve is a gravel road; you don't need four-wheel drive or anything, but you'll be dusty. Of several trails, the one at the very end, Ferry Point, leads through an interesting manicured landscape with gnarly trees encircling the path. The offshoot labeled "jack-in-the-pulpit trail" suggested some nifty pitcher-plant looking foliage, but I saw nothing like that. Maybe I just didn't know what to look for. There's a small beach, and some people were using it for boating or fishing. The water was as pleasant as I've seen on the Eastern shore; calm, clear, and with plenty of plant life. So much of the Chesapeake shore is private land that it's nice to be able to see what the scenery looks like without a McMansion, and this preserve is not a place where I'd spend the whole day, but it is convenient to stop at on the way to or from other things.

Hollis Park is a small 1.9 acre park space beside the municipal building in St. Michaels, near the…read moreChesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. There is a canal running along one side of it, and a nearby bridge. The park has benches, picnic tables, and a playground (swings, slide, and wood pirate ship). A park this small is not really a destination, but it is nice to have as public space, especially due to the number of tourists visiting St. Michaels. The sitting places and waste disposal are very helpful for those needing a place to rest a bit while walking the town, or to eat lunch, or bring a blanket to picnic. I know that with a baby, stroller, and dogs, this kind of stop can be really helpful just to regroup and regain composure for the next activity. For those with older kids, it's a great spot to get energy out on the playground, or simply running in the grass. This would probably also be a good meeting place for visiting groups, or like a check-in location for a field trip. It is a peaceful little spot, and the harbor is directly across from it, so there are great water views!

For all that come to the park for the right reasons welcome. Unfortunately, there are some who…read morethrow trash on the parking lot including beer bottles, empty their cigarette ashtray on the lot. Also, park in no parking spots and drive their vehicle through the grass lots where the waterfowl graze to eat. The waterfowl, ducks, geese live at the park, have respect for them, if not trash your own property. If you feed the animals, don't give them bread it is bad for them. If you don't believe so Google it. If you happen to be someone who has the no care, no respect attitude and think you are above it all, don't visit the park. Most respect the park and want it to thrive for years to come so the children can enjoy it.

Staff - 10/10 not usually at front desk I always see them walking around and making sure everything is in check and cleaned up I'm sure that's why this place is so clean as soon as you walk in (This must be why TONY left them a bad review) Parking - 6/10 I think they're building a new lot at the moment Courts - 10/10 these courts look brand new!
