Choptank River Light, Navigation lighthouse at the junction of Tred Avon and Choptank Rivers, Maryland, US.

The hexagonal frame building with a lantern stands on a foundation of six screw piles near the waters of Choptank River.

The first lighthouse was constructed in 1871 by Francis A. Gibbons to replace a lightship, marking the entrance to the Tred Avon River.

The Cambridge Lighthouse Foundation manages tours and exhibitions about maritime heritage inside the structure, presenting navigation artifacts and historical photographs.

The replica lighthouse opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM between May and October, with access through Long Wharf Park in Cambridge.

The second version incorporated the relocated Cherrystone Bar Lighthouse structure, making it the only lighthouse transferred within Chesapeake Bay.
