8 Mile Hike & Bald Eagle Watching at Conowingo Dam
Rock Run Gristmill, 761 Stafford Rd, Havre De Grace, MD 21078, USA, Havre de Grace, MD, USJoin us for a hike in Susquehanna State Park in Havre De Grace, Maryland.
Between the months of November and February, about 150 American Bald Eagles gather at the base of the Conowingo Dam to fish, built nests and make baby eagles. All along the hike, we will be able to watch American Bald Eagles grab fish out of the river and then if we are lucky, we will see the birds fight over the fish.
We will walk along an old train track path that was converted to a hiking / biking trail along the Susquehanna River at Harve De Grace. It is a flat trail that goes along the Susquehanna River to the Conowingo Dam. The Path is about 4 miles to the dam and then about 4 miles back to the car (around 8 miles round trip). The path is flat and easy.
Leave a message in the comment section for car pooling needs.
Food: At the Conowingo Dam, there are picnic tables to eat snacks, bathrooms and then time to watch the Bald Eagles and take pictures for people with good cameras. After the hike, we'll pick a location for a meal/drink.
Bathrooms: Bathrooms at the starting and ending location and at the mid-point. At the start/end, bathrooms are located up the stairs near the Csrter-Archer Mansion.
Rain/Inclement Weather: In the event of rain or poor weather, we will reschedule this hike.
