The riverside wharf was built in 2009 and is a mere 160 feet long.

You'll often find visitors casting a line here, where they may catch bass, walleye, catfish, and more.

Not only will you find humans fishing, but bald eagles, too!

When the turbines of Conowingo Dam bring in more water and fish...

...bald eagles take advantage of this moment and grab the fish coming in.

You may even see some eagles squabbling over a meal, making for a fascinating sight in person, and a great shot on camera!

Keep in mind that peak viewing times for bald eagles is between November and February. That's when most gather around the dam, but you'll still see quite a few hanging out here year-round.

Whether you bring a zoom lense or just yourself, a visit to Conowingo Fisherman's Park belongs on your Maryland bucket list.

Address: 2569 Shures Landing Road, Darlington, MD 21034
