Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River

Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River

The Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River in Cecil County, Maryland.

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.
