Cecil

A change of pace and breathtaking scenery await travelers in Cecil County, located halfway between Philadelphia and Baltimore on the upper banks of the Chesapeake Bay, with its shimmering harbors, history, rolling hillsides, horse country, antique shops, and excellent inns and restaurants.

Turkey Point Lighthouse is located 100 feet above the waves, where visitors can see five sparkling rivers spilling into the Chesapeake Bay. Seek out roadside markers that tell the history of our country and mark inns where Lafayette and Washington stayed. Explore the roads our forefathers once traveled, and learn about the largest British landing of the Revolutionary War at Head of Elk.

There are also ten miles of hiking trails, a sandy beach, and boat rentals at Elk Neck State Park, which is a 2200-acre lush waterfront forest.
