Learn hands on about the simple, relaxing hobby of crabbing. The fishing pier is a former ferry landing that juts out into the Chesapeake Bay and is a great place to crab. Forgot your crab trap? That's ok. The park provides them and bait. This is a great program for adults and children new to crabbing. If you get hooked on this family fun, the park's camp store stocks a full array of fishing and crabbing tackle and bait.
