Thursday, June 18, 2020 found us spending a delightful afternoon paddling 8 miles on the picturesque Broadkill River. It’s been five years since we paddled the Broadkill, starting in Milton, DE, and we wondered why we hadn’t returned to such a scenic spot. Milton Memorial Park in downtown […]
On Wednesday, May 13, 2020 we launched at Roger C Fisher Park in Laurel, DE on Broad Creek. We were headed 7 miles downstream on Broad Creek to Phillips Landing where we’d parked a second car. Even though we were surrounded by the buildings of Laurel, the trees […]
Federalsburg, Maryland is a small town of 3,000 souls that was incorporated in 1823. One story claims the name Federalsburg came from the Federalist Party which met in town in 1812. If you remember your history you know that the Federalist Party was the first political party in […]
On September 25th, 2019 we paddled one of our favorite Maryland State Parks: Janes Island near Crisfield, Maryland.

The State […]

On Wednesday June 12, we again paddled a marvelous Delmarva kayaking destination: the Wye East River near Wye Mills, MD.

Launching from the Taylor’s Landing boat ramp, near Girdletree, MD, offers a number of paddling options including a new, to us, paddle to Tizzard Island on May 27th, 2019, Memorial Day.

October 8th and 9th, 2018, found us spending two perfect autumn days kayaking near St. Michaels, Maryland. The town of St. Michaels is one of our very favorite destinations, and we highly recommend the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and the St. Michaels Winery. On this trip, we put […]
