Susquehanna Flats

Cecil County, MD · boat ramp

The Susquehanna Flats — the broad shallow upper Bay where the Susquehanna meets the Chesapeake — is legendary for spring catch-and-release striper staging. Also holds white perch, blue catfish, and tidal largemouth. Boat access required for most of the flats.

Catch-and-return only for stripers during spring trophy season — verify current regulations. Launch from Havre de Grace or Perryville boat ramps. Very shallow; low-profile boats preferred.
