Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park, Fishing pier state park in Dorchester County, United States.
The Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park extends over one mile on the Talbot side and half a mile on the Dorchester side of Choptank River.
The state park originated in 1987 when sections of the original US Route 50 bridge were converted into fishing platforms across the Choptank River.
The park bears the name of Bill Burton, a Maryland reporter who championed the preservation of public fishing access on the Choptank River.
Visitors can access restroom facilities at the nearby Sailwinds Park and Visitor Center, which connects to the pier through boardwalk paths.
The location attracts 105 bird species throughout the year, including Ospreys, Common Goldeneyes, and Common Loons during their breeding periods.
