Jean S. Roberts Memorial Park

Susquehanna River, Chesapeake Bay

This ramp is located in Jean S. Roberts Park in Havre de Grace, a mini-park that has more paved parking than grass. The park has a small pavilion and a short boardwalk along the river. As can be seen from the picture, the ramp is right beside the Amtrak bridge across the Susquehanna. It is just upstream of the point where the river meets the Bay, which is generally considered to be at the Concord Point lighthouse in Havre de Grace, just one mile south.

This ramp is the closest one on the Harford County side of the river to Garrett Island, now a no-access national wildlife refuge (see notes for the Perryville ramp, which is closest). There are shipping channels on both sides of Garrett Island.
