This motorcycle ride meanders around and through Maryland's scenic eastern shore and through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Area. The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge area is home of about 30% of Maryland's overall tidal wetlands. The area is generally flat and offers great vistas over the water. You may be able to see some great wildlife scenes ad the refuge is a waterfowl sanctuary for birds migrating along the a crucial section of their migration path known as the Atlantic Flyway. You'll pass through farming fields as well as forests containing both evergreens and deciduous trees.Drive Enjoyment
Not many turns/hills on this one just a lot of flat straight roads which allow you to blow the gunk out without the worry.Tourism Opportunities
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is very scenic and Cambridge has all the amenities of a small city. The city itself has three museums - Brannock Maritime Museum, Richardson Maritime Museum, and Meredith House and Nield Museum.Motorcycle Road Additional info

This would have to be one of the best area's to ride on the shore. In reality it would be average anywhere else, but on the shore its one of the best. I always add in the Taylor and Hoopers islands to give alittle more scenery to the trip. Most of the roads are in good shape and even in the summer you will not run into much traffic if any.

I must disagree with Dan! There is a lot of nice riding in Dorchester county. The Black water refuge is nice, but there's places such as Hoopers Island, Taylors Island and many roads in between to travel on. Roads are some what twistie, scenic and nice! Sure, it's no mountain region, but there IS decent cruising there. And yes, I live there too!!!!

Sorry, I live there and it ain't nothing to go out of your way to ride! Been there and done that just from being bored and nothing else to ride and see over here! Go ride in the mountains and/or on a real beach, if you want something to enjoy and remember!
