Kiptopeke State Park Master Plan to be Discussed Sept. 4
“Master plans outline the desired future condition for a park when it is fully developed,” said Janit Llewellyn Allen, a park planner. “We welcome public input in the planning process.”
The updated plan for Kiptopeke calls for construction of two- and three-bedroom cabins, a visitor center with playground and shelter, an environmental education center and staff residence. Renovations to park roads, a fish cleaning station and beach conservation also are in the plan.
The 562-acre park on Virginia’s Eastern Shore offers recreational access to the Chesapeake Bay and opportunities to explore a unique coastal habitat featuring a major flyway for migratory birds. Kiptopeke is 3 miles from the northern terminus of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Written comments about this master plan update will be accepted through Oct. 4. Written comments should be submitted to janit.llewellyn@dcr.virginia.gov .
