Description Perryville Town Park lies at the tip of Perry Point, a peninsula at the head of the Chesapeake Bay, with the Susquehanna River to the west and the waters of Mill Creek and Furnace Bays to the east. A mix of paved and dirt roads takes visitors through all sections of the park, offering good views of the water. The park has a wooded section as well as extensive closely mown playing fields. In conjunction with the local schools, the town is now establishing a few No Mow areas, which should develop into good habitat for sparrows and buntings. Fall through early spring, the park is one of the best and easiest Cecil sites in which to see waterfowl, and landbirding is good all year.
Fall brings flyovers of migrating hawks.
The park has enough variety to interest novice and expert birders alike. How to get there From the town of Perryville, take Rt. 7 west to the junction of Firestone Road, at the fire hall. What to do after arrival Drive slowly and watch for bird activity along the first part of the entrance road, which leads over a creek and through the wooded section. Pull over at the first opportunity to scan the water.
