About
Tuckahoe State Park is a large state park in Maryland, about a mile from the town of Jumptown. Its own network of trails and a paddling creek put a range of outings within walking distance of one another, making it a practical base for a day of hiking or canoeing. Typical averages from the Chestertown weather station, about 18 miles away, favor spring and fall. April brings highs around 64°F and lows near 45°F, and May warms to about 74°F with lows near 55°F. September averages highs of 78°F, cooling to around 67°F in October with lows near 48°F. Summer runs warm, with July highs averaging 87°F and lows near 69°F. Winter is cold, with January highs around 41°F and lows near 27°F, and a couple of snowy days a month in January and February.
