Bill Burton State Park
About
Bill Burton State Park is a fishing pier park in Maryland, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources and operated by the Maryland Park Service. It sits about 1.4 miles from Cambridge, making it an easy stop for anyone already in town. The park centers on its fishing pier, so plan a visit around time on the water's edge with a line in rather than a long walk or climb. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall work well: typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs near 80°F, while July averages climb to about 88°F. Winters are chilly, with January highs typically around 45°F. If you want to add some walking to the trip, the Walking-Jogging Path lies about 8 miles away, with the Key Wallace Trail at roughly 8.6 miles and the Woods Trail about 9 miles out.
