Nice walk. View of the Chesapeake was amazing at the end of the Red Trail. Will visit this again.

Nice area, beach fun to explore. Found a number of beautiful sharks teeth. Recommend.

I took along my twelve year old on this one. he enjoyed looking for fossils and shark teeth on the beach. was a little confused as to the dog policy on all web sites for the state it states no pets on or off leash, and when we got there there where leashed dogs everywhere.

Culvert Cliffs State Park seems to be a popular place for short hikes and the use of the small beach. There is an minumum entrance fee which made me wonder after we were through with the hike, why the park was in such poor repair. The trails are marked but no map was provided at the entrance when requested. Only one large map behind a glass partition as you start on the red trail. (Be sure to print the map off this website before attempting to navigate through the park.) Several problems we found during our hikes on the many trails were:
(1) the trails were marked with the color but the distances were not accurate, (2) no natural animal sightening on the red trail which could be due to the volume of traffic and noise (3) large amount of storm damage throughout the park which has caused falling trees and erroision (4) most of the beach is closed due to errosion from the above cliffs where trees and large amounts of clay have fallen. If you are only out for a hike through the forest, I would recommend this park - as there is little traffic on all the trails except the red trail. We saw more animals and / or tracks on the service road then we saw on all the other trails within the park. One last bit of advice - make sure you have a driving directions to this park, as the average GPS unit will not have it loaded.
