Saturday, August 1, 10:00am–12:30pm Kayak/Canoe at Dundee Creek ***Waitlist only**
Leaders: Anita Tyler and Ruth Bergstrom
Join us for a leisurely kayak/canoe trip along the shoreline of Dundee Creek. This is one of the most pristine areas in the upper Chesapeake Bay, bordered by undeveloped state park land and APG property. In this brackish marsh area surrounded by coastal woodland, we’ll look for waterfowl, songbirds, turtles, beavers, and more, while admiring wildflowers, grasses, and native trees. It’s typical to see bald eagles flying above us, and we'll paddle by an occupied osprey nest. Bring your binoculars. Meet at 9:45am at the Dundee Marina kayak launch area. Bring your own kayak or canoe, or kayaks can be rented from Ultimate Watersports right at the launch area. To register contact Ruth at ruthb22@yahoo.com or 443-752-1967. Limit 14 paddlers. Information on Ultimate Watersports can be found here: http:// www.ultimatewatersports.com.
