Road Trip Scoreboard

The primary purpose of this trip was to camp in a prime spot for spring passerine migration. This is one of my favorite spots, but it gets crowded by 9 AM or so. Camping allows me to be the first in and to wrap up my activities before most of the people arrive.

Susquehanna State Park is a public recreation area located on the banks of the lower Susquehanna River north of the city of Havre de Grace, Maryland. The state park’s main area is on the west bank of the river; the park also manages land on the river islands and east bank. The park offers fishing, boating, camping, and trails for hiking and equestrian use. It is managed as a complex with Rocks State Park and Palmer State Park by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The park’s Rock Run Historical Area includes: the Rock Run Grist Mill; the 1804 Carter-Archer Mansion, which was once the home of mill owner John Archer; remnants of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal; and the restored Jersey Toll House, where fees were collected for the historic Port Deposit Bridge. The privately run Steppingstone Museum, which preserves and demonstrates Harford County’s rural arts and crafts of the 1880-1920 period, is also located on the park grounds. [Wikipedia]
