One of the many trails in the park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We discovered Elk Neck State Park<\/a> in central Maryland over a decade ago when looking for a new place to take camping trips with our family. We have since been back and it is one of my favorite camping spots. Just 75 miles from Philadelphia, it offers multiple terrains and outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

Turkey Point Light Station is on the National Register of Historic Places<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The park is on a peninsula between the Elk River and the Chesapeake Bay. Encompassing over 2188 acres, its landscape includes beaches, wooded areas, marshes and cliffs, and a big draw for me, a lighthouse. Our first visit, we made the easy hike to the Turkey Point Lighthouse where we could walk around the grounds.<\/p>\n

On a return visit, the lighthouse had been restored and we were able to go inside and climb to the top.<\/p>\n
