Great little place with awesome scenery. The pier(old bridge) is permanently closed so that has great affected the amount of people here. However you pretty much could have the park to yourself at the right day and time.

The Dorchester side is open everyday from 7am-Sunset. The Talbot side usually opens April 1st. Neither side has lights now so they'll both be closing at Sunset every night.

Is crabs running there

Jason Sipes | Nov 7, 2018
Ernest Redding | Nov 7, 2019

The bridge is a little high up for proper crabbing. Bring extra long lines, good bait, patience and your crabbing license; DNR is always on the job, so I've heard. That being said... the crabs are HUGE when they come theough.
