Awesome place to visit and do some camping or fishing. Especially fishing they have a hundred foot Pier that puts you in the mouth of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. They also have a few historical sites that you can visit from the civil war era. Not to mention there's a really cool lighthouse that you can check out.

why is close the park at night?

A Google User | Oct 12, 2021
Point Lookout State Park | Oct 12, 2021

Point Lookout State Park ended night fishing in November 2019. The reduction in park operating hours is a cost containment strategy and part of a statewide plan to remain within our allocated budget. While we know that these changes will affect some of our customers, our measures are an attempt to limit that impact while still being fiscally responsible. The costs associated with providing 24-hour access to the park, such as cleaning facilities, providing restroom facilities, trash removal, staff time associated with patrol (civilian and NRP), etc. did not make it feasible to maintain those 24-hour operations given the current fiscal constraints.
