    Chapman State Park - Parking area - limited maybe 10 cars can fit

    Quick, kid friendly hiking trail with water access and views. We explored multiple trails ( because…read morewe got lost, turned back and took the house trail to the water and then returned to the parking lot through the marsh trail). We went on a Sunday evening in May and didn't run into any wildlife ( thankfully). The hill from the house to the water is steep which prompted us to find the trail further down the beach area to return to the parking lot. If you're lucky enough to go when the house is open the view from the long driveway through the doors to the water is breathtaking. Their rock memorial facing Africa and acknowledging the history of slavery on this land was refreshing to see. Kid friendly rating : 8/10 for walkable kids ( not stroller friendly) Bonus is the numerous historical facts signs. Restrooms: I saw a Port-o-potty but that's not a lifestyle I wish to explore. In an emergency situation I'm sure it's nice to have. Small parking lot.

    [Coronavirus review] No worries about crowds here; the tiny…read moreparking lot on the main road would struggle to fit a half dozen cars, and it's a fair walk in from there, through some anonymous forest and abandoned buildings. At least there's no admission fee. Doesn't seem like much; maybe the reason no one's here is that there is no reason for them to be? But when you emerge to the small mansion that once headed a plantation, you'll be greeted with a great view and a dizzying variety of scenery from there on out. A quick jaunt down the grassy hill through a field with a gnarly-looking cactus or two leads to a beach. No, really! Bondi it ain't, but if you can satisfy yourself with a small strip of sand, little wavelets on the brackish river driven in by a mild breeze, and a variety of seashells, shorebirds, and other signs of life, this is a successful outing. This is to say nothing of the thick woods, manicured orchard of some sort, and a wetland filled with the sort of birds who seemed irked that even a single person happened by. Maryland has this sort of dynamism in aggregate, but it's amazing the diversity of environments you can experience by walking for ten minutes in this sort of park. There are drawbacks aplenty; bugs will be there and there's a lot of plastic trash and washed up tires. And honestly, the place seems to house potential to be more; if I could take a boat across to Mason Neck, I'd totally do it (not that Maryland is ever likely to cooperate with its Confederate Commonwealth of a neighbor). But I got twenty minutes walking to one end of this beach, and well over two hours in a park where I thought I'd struggle to spend one. Beggars can't be choosers, and unless you happen to have a waterside mansion, we're all begging for a bit of the great outdoors.
