North East

North East lies along the tidal North East River near the head of Chesapeake Bay, where low wooded shores and winding creeks lead toward the bay’s northern waters. This Cecil County town developed around a sheltered waterfront, and its compact centre includes the North East Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its 19th- and early-20th-century buildings. The Upper Bay Museum documents the hunting, fishing and boating traditions that shaped communities around the upper Chesapeake. South of town, Elk Neck State Park occupies a wooded peninsula between the Elk and North East rivers. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across North East and Cecil County.
