Susquehanna NWR is located at the mouth of the Susquehanna River in Hartford County, Maryland. During the 1920’s, the island was used as a fish hatchery for shad, sometimes also known as river herring. In the early 1940's, over 13,000 acres of water were closed to hunting migratory waterfowl by presidential order and designated as the Susquehanna NWR.
