About This Access Site
The Lapidum Boat Ramp at Susquehanna State Park offers convenient access to the Susquehanna River in Havre de Grace. Located at the end of Lapidum Road on the park's south end, this launch provides direct entry to the river and is wheelchair accessible, making it accommodating for paddlers of varying abilities. The ramp is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore this section of the Susquehanna or venture downstream toward the Chesapeake Bay headwaters.
This area is popular with anglers targeting pike, perch, and bass, and the river corridor offers scenic paddling opportunities. The broader Susquehanna State Park encompasses historic sites including the restored Rock Run Historic Area with its working gristmill and canal remnants, providing cultural interest alongside paddling. Paddlers can extend trips downstream to take-out points in Havre de Grace, making this an ideal starting point for day paddles or longer excursions on the river.
