DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
From US-40 at the DE/MD state line. Proceed west on US-40 for 4.2 miles. Turn left onto Old Elk Neck Rd and proceed 8.7 miles. You will pass the State Forest. (Be aware that Google Maps thinks that there is a bridge out along the way on Old Elk Neck Rd, suggesting re-routes starting at McKinneytown Rd. The bridge was replaced more than a year ago. Stay the course, strait until this road dead-ends. There are two stop signs close together as you near the end. At the dead-end, turn left onto MD-272 (Turkey Point Rd) south and proceed 3.0 miles. You’ll pass the Beach and Office turn offs. Turn left on Campground Rd and proceed 0.4 mile. The parking lot will be on the left.

LOCATION NOTES:
This is one of the tracts of the State PARK, not the State FOREST! Elk Neck State Forest and Elk Neck State Park are very often confused. The State Forest’s area is much larger, with the main tract running all the way between Elkton and North East, MD. It has a climbable wooden lookout tower. The State Park is past the Forest and further from Delaware. At its farthest section, it has a white lighthouse on a 120 foot bluff, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.
Campground Rd has no street addresses. This parking area is in Elk Neck State Park, where the campgrounds are located on the eastern side of the peninsula, along the Elk River.
