Susquehanna State Park is a state park on the lower Susquehanna River north of Havre de Grace, Maryland. The main park area is on the west bank of the river, but they manage land on the river islands and east bank.
The park offers fishing, camping, a picnic area, hiking, mountain biking, road biking, and boating. The park includes the Rock Run Historical area, which consists of the Rock Run Grist Mill, Jersey Toll House (for the historic Port Deposit Bridge), remnants of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal and the mill owner, John Archer's 1804 Rock Run Mansion.
The park also hosts the privately run Stepping Stone Museum, "which preserves and demonstrates the rural arts and crafts of the 1880-1920 period."
Besides six trails within the park, the Lower Susquehanna Greenways Trail starts at the park and runs north along the river to the Conowingo Dam. It is co-located with the Mason-Dixon Trail.
