Janes Island State Park, Nature reserve in Crisfield, United States
The 3,160-acre park contains 30 miles of marked water trails through salt marshes connecting to remote beaches along Chesapeake Bay.
Maryland General Assembly allocated one million dollars between 1965 and 1978 to develop facilities and implement beach erosion control measures.
The protected wetlands support large populations of migratory birds, making this location significant for wildlife observation throughout Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Visitors can rent canoes, kayaks, and cabins, access boat launches and slips, or camp overnight while exploring the extensive water trail network.
The park's unmarked water paths lead to a seven-mile stretch of white sand beach facing Tangier Sound, accessible only by watercraft.
