About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Port Deposit Marina Park is located south of downtown Port Deposit in Cecil County, Maryland, on the Susquehanna River. The site features a paved parking lot, two boat ramps, a floating dock for water taxis and private boat access, restrooms, picnic areas (including a covered pavilion), and a nearby playground. A walking path along the river and fishing jetty are also available.
**Launch Information & Requirements**
Trailer boat launches require a Port Deposit town permit, or you can pay a $5 day-use fee via the honor box system. Kayakers and canoeists launching directly from the floating dock may have fewer restrictions. The ramp is situated on the tidal Susquehanna River, which is quite wide in this area, making it suitable for various water craft. Be aware that tidal conditions will affect water levels and current, so plan your trip accordingly. The site offers ample parking and good access to the river.
