A Delmarva Paddle Guide
Delmarva is a kayaking paradise, with hundreds of miles of fresh, brackish, and salt water trails available to explore. Beginning at Cambridge, Blackwater Adventures offers kayak rentals at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay resort and, further inland, at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. The wildlife sighting possibilities at both locations are rich, including the osprey nest above. Call ahead to check reservations at the Blackwater site, which is relatively remote. If you have your own Kayak, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has paddle trails and interactive maps available on their website.
With its biological diversity and expanse of open water, the best kayaking is at Assateague Island National Seashore. Assateague Outfitters, located within the park, offers kayaking in the Sinepuxent Bay. Of all the places listed, it is where I have found the most interesting wildlife and best water: something that is a good workout but still enjoyable!
