Welcome, here is link for all the public launch sites in Maryland. http://www.dnr.state.md.us/boating/boatramps.asp

I usually will check out a site with Google Earth to get an idea of how feasible it will be to launch from, especially soft launches without a ramp.

Yeah, definitely check out the above MD-DNR web site. Once you click on the Harford County map be sure to click on the Havre de Grace Insert. Most of the ramps are free for kayaks and canoes. Not sure about Lapidum ramp though, might have to pay there. Others may know for sure. City Yacht Basin is a ideal launch to access the Susky Flats during the spring C&R striper season, free too for cartops.

The Lapidum ramp does have a parking fee for cars without trailers as well. I think the fee is 5.00, still better then the 10.00 or so they charge to launch a trailer.
