Thank you to all who participated in our First Annual Pink Paddle for breast cancer.  Twenty Two paddlers braved the impending rain and helped us to raise $2,577 for Women Supporting Women and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  Although we got a bit wet everyone enjoyed the day especially the pizza and cupcakes donated by J&J Brick Oven Pizza and the Baked Desserts Cafe. 
 
Remember to support our very generous sponsors. Riverton Printing & Marketing, Russell T. Hammond Surveying, The Green Turtle West, Fenwick Wine Cellars, Sun Signs, Myers Tool Rentals & Parties Your Way, CrossFit Ocean City, and The River House Inn.

Special Full Moon Paddle

Join us on Saturday, October 23rd for a spectacular moonlight paddle. Experience the surreal beauty of Maryland's coastal waterways in a whole new light on this one hour paddle in the protected headwaters of Ayers Creek under the light of the full moon.  Listen for the hoot owl as we learn more about our nocturnal neighbors.  Then sit back and relax around the bonfire while enjoying local and organic cheeses from The Shark on the Harbor, a selection of wines from Fenwick Wine Cellars, and a sumptuous hot spiced wine.  Arrive by 8:00 PM for an 8:30 departure.


New Fall & Winter Tours

Sunrise & Sunset Waterfowl Observation Tours
Join us on a wildlife guide through Ayers Creek and observe wood ducks, pintails, black ducks, mergansers, bufflehead and many other local waterfowl.  These migratory birds are dependent upon local waterways for their annual migration south.  You will walk or be boated to traditional waterside duck blinds located on active local flyways. Observing waterfowl from these vantage points provide spectacular close-up views and opportunities for stunning photography.  You might even see bald eagle, raccoon, white-tailed deer, fox and otter.  Get a feel for what it must have been like for early settlers as they survived off what the creek had to offer.

Canada Geese Calling Tour
Have you ever had 75 Canada Geese land within feet of where you're standing, hear the flaps of their wings or the honking variation of each bird?  Now you can on our Canada Geese Calling Tour.  Take a guided trip with a local naturalist to a field hunting blind to observe dozens and sometimes hundreds of Canada Geese flying by or landing in the field around you.  This is an experience unlike any other, so remember to bring your camera on this unforgettable trip!
