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 […]

Last fall we launched at Willis Wharf, Virginia for the very first time and enjoyed paddling the scenic Machipongo River, which is not really a river but a large tidal creek. The summer of 2018 found us returning to Willis Wharf with family kayakers on a beautiful sunny […]
