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. Rain is spread fairly evenly through the year, with roughly 8 to 10 wet days in a typical month. Right in the park, the Tuckahoe Valley Trail and Lake Trail offer hiking, and Tuckahoe Creek is the spot for canoeing. For overnight stays, Martinak State Park Camp Loop A lies about 9 miles away.
