From Bay Bridge (East bound): Travel 12.5 miles eastbound on Route 50 and turn right onto Carmichael Road. Travel 5.1 miles on Carmichael Road until you cross the Wye Island Bridge and on to Wye Island. After traveling a short distance information can be found on Wye Island at an information kiosk. Parking is available at several locations along Wye Island Road.
Visited on a nice day in January and took a walk through the woods to the bay. There were a number of people walking dogs and taking pictures, plus a share of hunters and signs posting caution about active hunting. Had the kids with us so a little concerned about this but we didn't have an issue. Next time I would probably research the many dirt roads and trails a little better since you could, I suppose, get mildly lost. Good spot for walks, taking pictures and seeing the bucolic Eastern Shore up close.
Beautiful trail ( the last one at the end of the road) leading to a stunning sandy beach under a gnarly pretty tree. Doing the extra loop made you feel like you were in an exotic area.
I don’t have enough words to describe the beauty of this place. It looks like enchanted forest, very tranquil. It’s remote and there aren’t any facilities (except one outhouse), but it’s an untouched peace of nature of the East coast. In December it’s a little bit muddy, so I would suggest bringing special shoes or be ready to wash yours after the hike.
Great place for some casual walking in the woods. Many miles of very well maintained trails. It's easily accessible by car or from the water, with a small nice beach to land and launch from.
