Cross Island Trail
The Cross Island Trail is a paved trail that runs from Kent Narrows to Terrapin Park in Stevensville.
Along the way is Cox Creek (a wood bridge), Love Point Park, Kent Island High School, and more. The paved trail is
perfect for roller blading, bicycles, jogging, and just plain old walking! A good place to park is at the "Club One"
shopping center in Kent Narrows and under the US50 bridge at Kent Narrows, or at Love Point Park in Stevensville.
The Cross Island Trail ends at Terrapin Park which itself has a bunch of non-paved trails that run along the bays
edge.
Love Point Park, Old Love Point Road,
Stevensville, MD 21666
Love Point Park is a great place to play a game of Baseball or Softball. There are four baseball fields
located here, as well as a children's playground, bathrooms, and vending machines. The Cross Island Trail also goes
through Love Point Park.

that extends 900 feet out into the Chesapeake Bay. There is also a 3/4 mile walking trail to the beach, as well as a boat
ramp. The cost is $3 per day flat fee per car.
Downtown Stevensville, Main Street and Old Love Point Road, Stevensville, MD 21666

Terrapin Nature Park, Route 8 and Main Street,
Stevensville, MD 21666
Located behind the Chesapeake Bay Business Center (where PRS Guitars is), Terrapin Nature Park consists
of miles of nature trails that run along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, as well as past a very busy pond and marsh
areas. There is signage to explain specific areas and points of interest, as well as overlooks for viewing nature.
Many of the trails are semi-paved with oyster shells, making the walk clear of overgrowth. This park is tucked away
in what seems to be an odd location, but it is well worth a look. To get there by car just take Route 8 (Romancoke Rd)
about 3/4 of a mile North of US-50/301 and make your first left (traffic light) which is into the Chesapeake Bay Business
Center. Make an immediate right inside the center, and follow the road around for about a half-mile. The park's
entrance will be on your right.
