DETAIL MAP OF FROM QUEENSTOWN, MD TUCKAHOE STATE PARK

CAUTION: This segment of the route across ’s eastern shore is DANGEROUS CROSSING not recommended for inexperienced cyclists because it requires three very dangerous crossings of dual-lane highways (US 301 and 50) that are not controlled by traffic lights. In fact, on summer weekends, the traffic on these roads between the DANGEROUS & areas and CROSSING the Atlantic resort beaches is so heavy that a non-vehicular crossing would probably be almost impossible.
