Delmarva LITE Activites: CANOEING and KYAKING
CANOEING and KYAKINGKayakersCanoeing and kayaking Trading your pedals for paddles is easy on Delmarva where hundreds of meandering rivers, creeks, and bays make the peninsula an ideal place for an aquatic adventure. In the shallows bays behind Assateague you will find the 100-mile long Assateague Canoe Trail. Similar trails around the EA Vaughn Wildlife Management Area, Nassawango, Primehook, and Marshyhope creeks, Janes Island, Trappe Pond, and Pocomoke, Manokin, Appoquinimink, Murderkill, Chester, Choptank, Wye, Nanticoke, and Broadkill rivers exhibit spectacular natural beauty. The creeks and embayments on both sides of Virginia’s thin neck of uninhabited paradise provide great opportunities for exploration.

Consult the book “Maryland and Delaware Canoe Trails” by Edward Gertler for a comprehensive look at the shore’s best paddles. See our "Destinations" page for information on access and marked trails or visit the links below.
