Park Information
Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park consists of approximately 25 acres of park property including about one mile of trails. The trails and shoreline are open from sunrise to sunset. The Dorchester and Talbot fishing piers are open from 7 a.m. - sunset. The piers are quite popular because of the variety of fish that can be caught including perch, striped bass, croakers, sea trout, and catfish. The Dorchester pier adjoins Sailwinds Park via the walkway under the bridge.
