    There is nothing about this clean, well-cared for area and town that my family and I do not love. The park is rich in history and beautiful, and the pathway and boardwalk connect it to a beautiful marina. A great, easy stroll through shaded paths and open areas present many opportunities for photographs. Spend some time here. Although the original French pronunciation of the Towns name has long been lost and replaced by something that doesn't quite roll of the tongue, it's rich history and stunning location are still preserved

    Wanted to get out to see some water on a beautiful day and made a spontaneous road trip. My son and dog were along for the ride, and we all enjoyed our visit. There was a garden event wrapping up, so visited some vendors. Parking was easy and free. Beautiful area and gardens with a wildlife promenade right beside the water. No dogs allowed on the promenade, but mine is a service animal. She loved seeing the water, animals, and people. There's a marine museum, park, docks for fishing and boating, and a fresh air restaurant with casual food. Really nice small-town family atmosphere with beautiful sights.

    I see most of the pictures of this place are on "sunny days" but for our experience, it was a gloomy and rainy day, however, I want to show you the Lighthouse it's beautiful rain or shine. We had such an amazing day and experience there, even when it was raining, it was a great time. This historic place it's not only great place to walk, run, chill out, fish, learn about Flora/ fauna of the area, history of Harve the Grace but I also can see this place as a wedding venue, photoshoot area, proposals and to learn about the culture of the area. Don't miss out on this beautiful area and walk! I highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥

    Lighthouse was closed, but the park surrounding was very nice. Definitely a great spot for some pictures or to relax and enjoy the scenery.

    Dog friendly. Beautiful Lighthouse area and park. Has a nice boardwalk with pretty views as well. Parking was easy luckily and quick. Enjoyed a few hours here, sat on bench and watched couple ships pass thru! Calm and relaxing place to hang out. Recommend coming here for sights and history

    This lighthouse protected vessels from dangerous waters where the Susquehanna River traveled 444 miles to meet the Chesapeake Bay. It was originally lit by 9 whale oil lamps with tin reflectors that could be seen from 8 miles away This spot is where British Forces attacked the city from the sea and destroyed the city of Havre De Grace Maryland during the war of 1812. The lighthouse keeper was one of the heroes in the defense of the City. President Clinton and Vice President Gore gave a speech here in 1995. This place is on the National Register of Historic Places.

    The area is beautiful and there are always events held during the warmer months of the year. The park and it's surrounding area is a great place to play games such as Pokemon Go, as there are always people out walking around. The area can definitely get cold in the winter, as the wind blows right onto shore without any breaks. Would recommend everyone take a stroll here.

    Very very cool lighthouse. They let you go inside and explore the lighthouse. The area was very well kept and grounds were clean. The museum was free and the gift shop had affordable prices. I highly recommend!

    A moving tribute to Gold Star Mothers, (like my Mom), in a beautiful and historic setting.

    Very cute little place, you can even go inside the lighthouse! Worth a visit for all the family, although little ones are not allowed inside the lighthouse as you need to use a ladder to get to the very top.

    This is a nice place to take a walk and enjoy some local wildlife. There is a trail with some plaques about local history, so it could be educational for children also.

    Such a beautiful area. I love taking a drive over to see the lighthouse when I have the time. There's also a nice lawn to relax on and plenty of benches to sit on. Not too crowded and always a clean area.

    We went to Havre de Grace on a Saturday. The lighthouse was lit up at night, and the bay breeze was very peaceful. Not crowded at all either, but definitely couples and families walking around the area and along the promenade. It was lovely!
