Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park in Maryland occupies parts of the former Choptank River Bridge at Trappe, preserving sections of the old crossing as a public fishing pier along the Choptank River. The park also includes twenty-five acres upriver in Talbot County. The pier emerged after the Emerson C. Harrington Bridge, dedicated in 1935 by President Franklin Roosevelt, was replaced by the Frederick C. Malkus Bridge in 1987 and portions of the old structure were retained for recreation. In 2011, the park was renamed for outdoors writer and Chesapeake Bay fishing advocate Bill Burton, who helped save the bridge remnants. In 2022, structural weakness below the waterline closed the piers on both sides.
