On Virginia’s beautiful Eastern Shore, which was explored by Capt. John Smith in 1608, Kiptopeke offers recreational access to the Chesapeake Bay as well as an opportunity to explore unique migratory bird habitat along the Atlantic flyway.
The park offers 5 lodges that sleep 16, 4 cabins, RV and tent camping, a bunkhouse and 4 yurts.
Trails - The park has more than 5 miles of hiking and bicycle trails. The southern beach is perfect for a hike. The upland Baywoods Trail and southern beach are connected by extensive boardwalks so that visitors may explore Kiptopeke’s dune formation. Bicycle trails are available along the park’s entrance road and the Raptor, Songbird, Chickadee and Mockingbird trails.
Swimming - There are two unguarded beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. Kiptopeke’s northern swim beach is nearly half a mile long. The south beach is open to swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating and pets kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
Fishing, boating - The concrete ships located off the park’s waterfront offer some of Virginia’s finest fishing. A large fishing pier with picnic tables and lights to attract fish is available. Motorboats are allowed, Kayaks must be launched from only the south beach or the park's designated kayak launch.
