Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge

From Chestertown, MD, take Route 20 west into the city of Rock Hall. Turn left at the flashing light onto Main Street (Route 445). Stay on Rt. 445 for 8 miles until you come to a small bridge. After crossing the bridge, you will be on Eastern Neck NWR. Once on the refuge, you will find an informational kiosk at the first pull-off. Signs will direct you to trails, the boat launch, points of interest, and the Visitor Contact Station. The Visitor Contact Station is located approximately 2.5 miles south of the refuge entrance. A sign on the main road will direct you to the gravel road that leads to the Contact Station. Please note: The Visitor Contact Station may be closed during its regular hours due to bad weather, high water events, or staffing shortages. We will make our best effort to post any refuge closures to this website and our Facebook page. Eastern Neck NWR will be closed to the public for several days in October 2026 for deer management hunts. Please see this document for details.
