S Stokes St, Havre De Grace, MD 21078, USA
The Boat Launching Ramp sits on S Stokes St in Havre de Grace, Maryland, giving boaters direct access to the upper Chesapeake Bay near the mouth of the Susquehanna River.
No hours are posted for this ramp, so visitors should plan around daylight and typical boater traffic. There's no fee or permit information listed either, which suggests it may operate as a low-key public access point without staffed oversight.
The site includes a wheelchair accessible parking lot, making it more approachable for boaters with mobility needs than many informal launches. It's located at 39.5377205°, -76.0922688°. Beyond the accessible parking, no additional amenities like restrooms or docks are noted.
Havre de Grace is a historic waterfront town known for its lighthouse, promenade, and proximity to where the Susquehanna Flats meet the Chesapeake Bay. Boaters launching here can reach open bay waters, tidal flats popular with anglers, and a mix of recreational boating traffic typical of this part of the upper bay.
Best suited for: Local boaters and anglers who want quick, no-frills access to the upper Chesapeake Bay, including those who need accessible parking.
What visitors say
Mixed reviewsThe boat ramp is well-maintained and easy to use for launching kayaks and boats. There is a $10 fee paid at a card machine, and the facility can get busy during peak times, which may require wait times for launch or retrieval. One negative review cited rude staff behavior at the gas station on-site.
