Broad Creek, in Laurel, DE, is a spot we return to often. Beginning at Roger C Fisher River Park in Laurel the three miles downstream to Bethel, DE is surrounded by hardwood forest. An occasional cypress tree reminds us we are at the northern edge of cypress swamps. […]
Broad Creek is one of our go to kayaking locations but what a treat to be invited on the inaugural history kayak trip sponsored by Delmarva Birding Weekends, Harriet Tubman Tours and Quest Kayaks; “Moses and the Monster“. This is a wonderful opportunity for those without their own […]
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 May 7th we drove to Laurel, Delaware for a one way paddle downstream on Broad Creek to Phillips Landing Recreation Area. Ths is a beautiful part of Delmarva and a favorite kayaking destination which always furnishes surprises. On April 15th, 2019 an EF-2 tornado touched down between […]
On Labor Day, 2018 we chose a new kayaking site near Vienna, Maryland. Putting in at the town boat ramp along the Nanticoke River we found the weather sunny and the waters perfectly calm producing beautiful mirrored reflections as we paddled north, less than a mile, to Chicone […]
On May 1st the weather finally warmed enough for our first kayaking trip of 2018. DELMARVA’s April weather was abysmal, and with cabin fever raging, we impatiently waited for Spring to arrive. May 1st promised to be a glorious spring day with bright blue skies. Finally, we were […]
This is a wonderful article about Osprey by an Eastern Shore Blogger “Osprey Camera Blog” whom I just discovered. DELMARVA Kayaker just returned from a trip to Belize and Guatemala where we saw many Osprey in their winter home. We’re looking forward to them returning to DELMARVA. […]
