Queen Anne Fishing Area is located in this historic area. The port town of Queen Anne was established in 1706 and was a major river crossing from southern Maryland to Annapolis.

The Fishing Area is open daily during the season, but closed in the winter. The old bridge is closed but anglers are permitted to fish along the banks. The river is tidal so a Chesapeake Bay sport fishing license is required for anglers 16 and older.
