QAC Parks & Recreation

The section of Cross Island Trail from Old Love Point Park to Castle Marina Road will be closed from January 19th to May 1st while a water main is installed in that area.

Yes, there is a lovely spot where you may take your dog for a swim! A winding trail through the woods ends at the Dog Beach, on the sandy banks of Chesapeake Bay. 
Parking is permitted in the Matapeake Clubhouse lot; however, pets are not allowed at the clubhouse, its lawn, or the public beach. The pet trail begins at the fence that borders the rear of the clubhouse. Enjoy your visit and please bring along a plastic bag to clean up after your pet to ensure that this park stays open and available to dog lovers, while not posing a public health issue for the families using the public beach.

Kent Island South Trail is a 6-mile paved trail system that parallels Rt. 8 from Matapeake State Park to Romancoke Pier.
