The Elk Neck Trail will soon be set up to run with one exception from the Turkey Point lighthouse at the southern tip of Elk Neck to the lighthouse in the North East Town Park.

     Turkey Point  and its lighthouse are prominent features in Elk Neck State Park, and they offer a magnificent panorama of the Chesapeake Bay headwaters, which include the Susquehanna, North East, Elk, Bohemia and Sassafras rivers. Eventually, with extensions the trail  will go all the way to North East, Maryland from the lighthouse. 

      The Elk Neck Trail itself is marked by a series of six inch high white lighthouse icons with two positioned to show a turn in the trail. The path runs primarily through forested state park lands and some private lands as well. We have finally been able to obtain permission to cross the area around the Rodney Scout Camp

      The trail cuts across private property where we have  the landowner's permission and goodwill.  The Association strongly encourages hikers to respect property rights and to stay strictly on the path in these areas. As always, wherever we hike we must avoid leaving any litter at all.  If you see any, please pick it up. See our vision statement for our long range plans and goals.

      The Elk Neck Trails Association works to maintain and lengthen the trail. Each trail segment has a member who takes responsibility for its maintenance. If you would like a free copy of our trail map, click here. 

       Note that we have gotten a new route through the North Bay Center agreed to with the State of Maryland.
