Hart-Miller Island State Park, Maryland

Hart-Miller Island State Park spans 1,100 acres of beaches, marshlands, and natural areas within the Chesapeake Bay, providing diverse ecosystems for wildlife and recreation.

The land underwent significant changes from its original state, transitioning from a sand mining and landfill operation site to becoming a protected Maryland state park.

The island functions as an important educational center where visitors learn about Chesapeake Bay ecosystems through organized nature programs and environmental initiatives.

Access to the park requires a boat, and visitors should bring necessary supplies as facilities are limited to basic restrooms and picnic areas.

The park's isolation in Chesapeake Bay creates an undisturbed habitat for numerous bird species, including egrets and herons during migration periods.
