A Morning Hike on the Mason-Dixon Trail along the majestic Susquehanna in Harford County and Quarterly Meeting at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber of City Hall, Havre de Grace
The Morning Hike
Our point-to-point, roughly six mile hike will parallel the west bank of the Susquehanna River from the Fisherman's Park, just south of Rte. One (Map 6: w-e, 10.9 mi.), to Lapidum Landing (Map 6: w-e, 16.7 mi.). This section of the Mason-Dixon Trail runs about three miles along the level Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway for its first section and the remainder passes through the eastern hill sides of the Susquehanna State Park.
Logistics for the Hike: Hikers will gather at the Lapidum Landing at 9:00 a.m. and shuttle to the parking area at Fisherman's Park for the hike back.
