As a pro nature photographer I have spent lots of time in Susquehanna SP. It is small and has some nice, leisurely trails for hikes or biking. In fall it does have some photographic possibilities. It never has too many people, so it is a nice place for a family hike. Lots of deer. Good boating launch ramp on the Susquehanna River.
I loved how clean it was. We walked around and went in to the house. It was so nice, and the guides were very pleasent
Good hiking site -- trails range from very easy (gravel paths that are stroller accessible) to more challenging and rocky. Pretty views. Easy access in/out. Nice campgrounds.
We went here primarily to see the grist mill - it was worth it. There are several other buildings in that area that are beautifully preserved. We took a few minutes to walk up by the railroad tracks and photograph the Susquehanna River - the park is a great place to walk and there are many trails - it was too cold for us to take advantage of that on this trip - but we made notes for the next time we are in the area.
I enjoyed my stroll and drive through this park. There are scenic views, historic sites and many walking trails. I hope to visit again in the autumn or winter.
Nature at it's finest. Even the drive TO the park is beautiful. Off the beaten path but worth going out of your way for.
We visited while doing our state park Park Quest. Such a quiet, beautiful park. Definitely worth another visit. On the Saturday we went, it was surprisingly not busy.
Somewhat secluded, walk-up primitive camp sites. Great little camping areas, very shaded but still enough room to look at the stars and enjoy the evening firefly shows. Clean bath house, helpful staff. Stayed there to kayak Gunpowder River and Gunpowder River State Park only accommodates camping groups (Boy Scouts, Church/Reunions, etc). Will come back and try to bring more friends!
Susquehanna State Park is kind of a hidden secret in Harford County Maryland. There is a great network of color coded hiking trails with opportunities for all levels of hikers. Most trails take you through forested area with some stretches in open fields. Some trails run parallel to the Susquehanna River Several trails can be rocky and steep, so good hiking shoes are recommended. If you prefer level hiking a trails close to the river follows for the most part an old railroad bed and a canal towpath. Good opportunities to see water birds, ospreys and eagles along this trail.
Perryville, Maryland's best kept secret. A clean park at the tip of the bay with beautiful scenery all around. Baseball field, swings and gym for the children picnic tables and benches. A couple of pavilions also that you may reserve for your family outings. I chanced by this cause I was invited to a birthday picnic there. A must see for all of Cecil County and visiting folks. A book and an afternoon is all you would need to have a wonderful day.
