Reviews
"We went there quite often. Never ever had to pay to get it. Didn't even realize that was a thing there. Then one holiday weekend we are stopped at the entrance and told we have to pay to get in. Mind you, I'm driving a 15 passenger Van filled with developmentally disabled individuals smh. Very disappointing Allen's. You all are better of going to Tilghman Lake Park. It's Free to the community year round."
"Undeveloped, which is a good thing. Road side parking. Bridge marks tidal from non tidal water for fishing license purposes."
"I love this place. I caught the biggest bass I ever have (like 9lbs and it was delicious) and today he caught a decent croaker. Its relaxing, the fishing is hot and its definitely not crowded. Fish variety and bite rate is excellent!"
"Gorgeous and so peaceful. It's the perfect place to just relax, fish, kayak, whatever your thing may be. This is one of my family's FAVORITE getaway spots."
"I do wish it was less crowded at times of off hours, however it really can yield breathtaking views in sunsets and sun rises."
