RV Rental Conowingo, MD

If it’s a hot day, one of the best places you can be is at Conowingo Reservoir. The lake formed by the Conowingo Dam is a popular fishing spot, specifically for large and smallmouth bass. There are also a couple of tour companies that run daylong kayaking excursions if you want to get out on the water but don’t have a boat of your own.

Susquehanna State Park is another spot popular with outdoor enthusiasts thanks to its over a dozen miles of trail and excellent fishing from the riverbank. The Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway Trail also starts from the park and meanders for a few miles along the edge of the river before reaching Conowingo Fisherman’s Park.

For a shorter activity, make your way down to Havre de Grace and enjoy an afternoon on their boardwalk promenade. If you like lighthouses, the Concord Point Light is steps from the wooden boardwalk and has a museum inside the lightkeepers' quarters. There are also a few orchards and vineyards in the vicinity that are worth visiting. Most will have some sort of tasting available, so come hungry and thirsty.

The Steppingstone Farm Museum in Havre de Grace is another great place to visit as it showcases some of the most interesting elements of farm culture in Maryland. You can watch all sorts of traditional work being done including weaving, blacksmithing, and carpentry. It’s an excellent educational experience for the kids, but adults can learn a thing or two also.

If you’re at all curious about Maryland’s maritime history you’ll definitely need to check out the USNTC Bainbridge Museum in Port Deposit. The 2,000-acre complex was once a massive naval training center, but was shuttered in the late 1970s and now houses a spectacular collection of military artifacts.

Animal lovers will fall in love with the Plumpton Park Zoo outside the town of Rising Sun.
