Please Note:
​The fishing pier at Point Lookout State Park will be closed for repairs starting October 1, 2024, and is set to reopen spring 2025. During this time, you can still enjoy fishing at other designated spots along the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. The renovation will bring new railings, surface improvements, and essential structural updates.
