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. […]
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 […]
“False” spring has arrived on Delmarva tempting us with temperatures approaching 70 on some days. But we know better. The water is still too cold for safe kayaking unless dressed in appropriate cold weather gear. We have chosen to be warm weather kayakers. We spend the 3 to […]
Tuckahoe Creek downstream from Hillsboro MD is an easy paddle with changing scenery and much to explore. In August 2021 we started downstream finding some interesting changes. A number of larger trees have fallen into the river and many of the small islands appear to be overrun with […]
We kayak primarily to enjoy the beautiful natural settings available to us on the DELMARVA Peninsula. Birds are a big part of that experience and our kayaking speed is best described as bird watching optimal. We are never in a hurry to get anywhere unless a storm is […]
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 […]
Located between Johnson Bay and Brockatonorton Bay, Tizzard Island offers excellent paddling choices, nice sandy beaches and birds. The closest put in is at the Taylor’s Landing Boat Ramp near Girdletree, MD. We kayak more from this location than any other. The options are varied; kayak to and […]
We first kayaked Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in 2014. Six years later, after the effects of “Sandy” and a major restoration effort, Prime Hook shows the power of nature to transform and recover. In 2020 we returned to Prime Hook and found changed scenery. More importantly several […]
On June 1st, 2020 we paddled Wetipquin Creek just south of Salisbury, MD. Launching at the boat ramp, at Wetipquin Park, we turned to the right and went under the Rt 163 bridge. Just past the bridge the creek forks with Wetipquin to the left and Tyaskin Creek […]
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 […]
