Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Kent County, Maryland
Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge spans 2,285 acres of island terrain at the meeting point of Chester River and Chesapeake Bay.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service acquired the entire island between 1962 and 1967 to protect it from residential development.
Native American communities left evidence of their presence through shell middens, arrowheads, and pottery fragments discovered across the island.
Visitors can explore seven different trails, use boat ramps, participate in seasonal hunting, or observe over 240 bird species throughout the year.
This refuge became the first in the United States to install a wind turbine in 2002, generating power for its administration building.
