Chapel Point State Park is an undeveloped public recreation area located on the Port Tobacco River, a tributary of the Potomac River, in Charles County, Maryland. The park spans 821 acres and offers a serene natural setting with a mix of forests, fields, streams, wetlands, and sandy beaches. It is managed by Charles County, except for hunting and agricultural leases, and provides opportunities for activities like fishing, hunting, bird watching, and hiking. The park's rustic nature appeals to those seeking a remote, natural experience without extensive infrastructure.
Historically, Chapel Point was part of the St. Thomas Manor, patented by the Roman Catholic Church in 1638. It once hosted a resort and an amusement park, adding to its rich historical background. Today, visitors can enjoy the scenic views and engage in various outdoor activities.
The park's proximity to St. Ignatius Church, the oldest continuous Roman Catholic parish in the United States, adds to its cultural significance.
