Susquehanna State Park (Maryland)
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 it also manages 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 Steppingstone Museum, "which preserves and demonstrates the rural arts and crafts of the 1880-1920 period."

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or park:
“A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit.... A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
