On June 24, 2022 Kayaking Delmarva returned to Smith Island with Delmarva Birding Weekends to view the nesting Brown Pelicans.

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 […]

Paddlers at Janes Island State Park can choose to paddle inland marshes, tidal rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. On an 11 mile paddle we looped the lower part of Janes Island. With 7 marked water trails at Janes Island SP endless options exist for combining trails. The state […]
