| Description: | Susquehanna River empties into the head of Chesapeake
Bay from northwestward 170.1 miles above the Virginia Capes. The entrance is between Concord Point and Perry Point,1 mile east-northeastward. A marked dredged channel leads through the flats from deep water in Chesapeake Bay to Havre de Grace. A side channel leads to a basin at City Park at Havre de Grace. In February 1990, the controlling depth was 12 feet to the mouth of Susquehanna River at Havre de Grace. In 1990-February 1998, a controlling depth of 2 feet (5½ feet at midchannel) was in the side channel and 4½ feet in the basin at City Park. The mean range of tide is 1.8
feet at Havre de Grace and 2.1 feet at Port Deposit. It is reported that the river is usually closed by ice for a few weeks during the winter, but ice gorges and freshets are infrequent because of the dams upstream. |
