About Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park
Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park (formerly the Choptank River Fishing Pier) is a Maryland state park on the Choptank River in Trappe, Maryland. The park preserves portions of the former Choptank River Bridge as a pier, and includes 25 acres (10 ha) of land upriver from the pier in Talbot County. The fishing pier was created after the Emerson C. Harrington Bridge, which had been dedicated in 1935 by President Franklin Roosevelt, was replaced with the Frederick C. Malkus Bridge in 1987.
