American Bald Eagles of Conowingo
The Bald Eagles at Conowingo Dam are world famous. The Eagle population remains year round, and the location is shared with Great Blue Herons, Double-Crested Cormorants, and many other birds and Wildlife.
Conowingo Dam
The Conowingo Dam (also Conowingo Hydroelectric Plant, Conowingo Hydroelectric Station) is a large hydroelectric dam in the lower Susquehanna River near the town of Conowingo, Maryland. The medium-height, masonry gravity dam is one of the largest non-federal hydroelectric dams in the U.S.
The dam sits about 9.9 miles from the river mouth at the Chesapeake Bay, 5 miles south of the Pennsylvania border and 45 miles northeast of Baltimore, on the border between Cecil and Harford counties.
The dam supports a 9,000-acre reservoir, which today covers the original town of Conowingo. During dam construction, the town was moved to its present location about 1-mile northeast of the dam's eastern end. The rising water also would have covered Conowingo Bridge, the original U.S. Route 1 crossing, so it was demolished in 1928.
The Conowingo Reservoir, and the nearby Susquehanna State Park, provide many recreational opportunities.
