Outreach Adventure is offering kayak tours in and around the Delaware area.


Lums Pond

Lums Pond is the largest freshwater pond in Delaware. It is located in Lums Pond State Park, which consists of over 1700 acres of land.  The park is a sanctuary for wildlife.  A day kayaking here and you are sure to see Great Blue Heroins, Egrets, Beavers, and other local wildlife.  The quite serenity of the pond is a great place to get to know your kayak and learn some basic kayak skills.  If you are taking a basic kayak lesson with us, this will be our location. 


Bohemia River

The Bohemia River is a tributary of the Elk River on the Delmarva Peninsula. It is located in Cecil County, Maryland, with its headwaters extending into New Castle County, Delaware.

The Bohemia River begins east of Hacks Point, Maryland, where its two major tributaries, Great Bohemia Creek and Little Bohemia Creek come together, and ends at the Elk River in a wide mouth between Town Point and Ford Landing. Great Bohemia Creek and its tributary, Sandy Branch rise near Middletown, Delaware and Little Bohemia Creek rises near Warwick, Maryland. They flow through the level coastal plain, quickly reaching sea level.

There are several small creeks on the northern shore, including Pooles Creek and Manor Creek. On the southern shore small creeks include Morgan Creek and Scotchman Creek.


Sassafrass River

The Sassafras River is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the Delmarva Peninsula in the United States. It is about 20 miles long and starts in western New Castle County, Delaware, and along the boundary between Cecil County, Maryland on the north and Kent County, Maryland on the south.

The Sassafras River rises southwest of Middletown, Delaware, and ends at the Chesapeake Bay in a wide mouth between Howell Point near Betterton, Maryland and Grove Point on Grove Neck. It is entirely within the coastal plain and quickly reaches sea level.

There are several small creeks on the northern shore, including Money Creek, Cox Creek, Foreman Creek, Back Creek, McGill Creek, Dowdel Creek, Hall Creek and Duffy Creek. On the southern shore small creeks include Lloyd Creek, Turner's Creek, Freeman Creek, Woodland Creek, Dyer Creek, Mill Creek, Swantown Creek, Jacobs Creek and Herring Branch.

Susquehanna River

For this tour, Havre de Grace is normally our launching point. It's a fun and interesting area to kayak and there are some great restaurants downtown to refuel and relax after day's paddle.

About Havre De Grace
Havre de Grace was named by General Lafayette after the port city of Le Havre , France. Havre de Grace's location is on the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay and the outlet of the Susquehanna River. The town is quaint but happening, with several parks, marinas and a seaplane port. The location makes a great place for boating and kayaking a like with plenty of sights to see from lighthouses, seaplanes, sail boats, and boarded walkways to an undeveloped nature preserve in the middle of the Susquehanna.


Assateague Island

Assateague wild ponies have roamed the beaches, pine forest, and salt marsh of Assateague Island since the 1600's. Assateague Island National Seashore has a combined total of over 300 wild ponies in Maryland and Virginia. Some people believe the horses arrived on Assateague's shores when a Spanish galleon ship (with a cargo of horses) sank offshore. Others believe the horses arrived by early colonial settlers that allowed them to graze there. A Spanish ship wreck was discovered recently in the waters off Assateague which lends credit to the first theory.
