UPDATE ON MILLSBORO POND. On March 31, 2023 a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Millsboro bypass which will cross Millsboro Pond on the northern end. We had been aware for several weeks that trees were being removed on the shoreline and island. Kayaking this location may not be as pleasant in 2023 as the trail to the northern part of the pond will go through where it appears construction will occur.

Published originally in 2022. Located on the edge of the town the Millsboro Pond is popular with fisherman and the small parking lot is often filled with their boats and trailers. However, this is also a nice kayaking location. We recommend you enjoy it now because in the next few years a Millsboro Bypass will be built over one end of the pond.

Putting in at the boat ramp and following the right shore for quite a ways will eventually bring you to Cow Bridge Branch. This is a beautiful clear stream which one can paddle quite a ways. Very quickly it moves away from the road and the traffic noise vanishes. Small birds darted among the trees. Bald Eagles flew overhead and a Heron Rookery is in the trees along the main part of the pond.
