"I took a (free) tour of the Choptank River lighthouse, a replica crafted in a six-sided screw pile design that stands over the river." - Claudia Rosenbaum

This is a nice lighthouse replica. And a nice place for somebody that has not toured an active or staged lighthouse. The only things that a tourist can get a real feeling for are the steps that go upstairs in the lighthouse and standing out on the balcony. It is nice having a docent present but actual things that would be found in a lighthouse would be more memorable.

The scenery is very picturesque. It's located in Cambridge, MD. The ducks mostly run away when you draw near, but a few are brave enough to stick around for a treat. The lighthouse closes at 5pm (I believe).

A must see if you're visiting the area. Well maintained. Free admission. Helpful information about the steamboat era. Very knowledgeable and friendly docents. Elevator available for the disabled, but make sure to call ahead and make arrangements.

It was very beautiful, it was very fun to read about the lighthouses history and climb the ladder up to the top. It was a great experience. The dock around it also added to the cool atmosphere. It was well maintained and clean!!

The place is so peaceful on a cloudy day. There are so many jellyfish in the water. I can't climb up the lighthouse but I was able to take pictures.

Beautiful, peaceful place to visit. I went on a windy, chilly, rainy day with my three toddlers. The lighthouse itself was closed to the public (a sign stated it would be Open May to Oct), but it was still fun to look at it and see the giant structure. There was also a small plaque about the trading of slaves that while in port on the Choptank river in the Eastern Ocean.

The Choptank River Lighthouse is a beautiful little spot with stunning waterfront views. It’s quiet, relaxing, and a great place to stop if you’re exploring the area. The boardwalk is peaceful, and the lighthouse itself is charming—perfect for photos, sunset watching, or just taking a breath by the water.

I didn't go while the actual lighthouse was open. I went and looked at the area and walked around the outside of the lighthouse and it is absolutely beautiful. I will return to store the inside of the lighthouse.
