Matapeake State Park

Matapeake State Park is a public recreation area on Chesapeake Bay occupying the site of a former ferry landing in Matapeake, Kent Island, Maryland.

[2] The park occupies the site of a ferry landing that had served the Chesapeake Bay Ferry System on its run across the bay from Kent Island to what is now Sandy Point State Park.

Afterwards, uses for the land by the state included a shooting range and a building housing a scale model of the Chesapeake Bay.

The bay model was made obsolete by computer simulations, and the building was left vacant.

[2] It is the northern terminus of the paved South Island Trail, which extends 7 miles (11 km) from the park to Romancoke Fishing Pier.
