Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail

This trail begins from the parking area behind the Chesapeake Beach Community Center. It is an elevated boardwalk above a tidal marsh along Fishing Creek. The trail forms a Y-shape with Chesapeake Beach Rail Trail - North Branch. The stem of the Y parallels the creek to an intersection where the arms of the Y branch. The right branch (Chesapeake Beach Rail Trail - North Branch) crosses a side creek and climbs slightly where it ends at the rear of a housing development. The left branch crosses the main creek and continues on a paved surface along an old railroad bed to a dead-end above the creek. The entire trail is boardwalk and paved trail and there are trail signs that include mileage. There are also alcoves on the boardwalk with benches and informative signs describing the landscape and wildlife.
