Maryland’s popular state parks were once again packed with visitors over Memorial Day weekend — and this year, two additional parks were operating in the system. Cypress Branch State Park in Kent County and Bohemia River State Park in Cecil County opened in April. But even with the additional capacity of the new parks, there were cases where visitors were turned away once parking lots filled up throughout the weekend that kicked off the summer travel season. Maryland State Park Superintendent Nita Settina told WTOP the state “is continuously working to open new state parks.”
