This trip explores several tributaries of the Patuxent River; Mattaponi Creek, Lyon’s Creek, Weir Creek, and Broad Creek. These tributaries may even be more alluring than the main river as they wind and intimate path through the marshes with a great diversity of beautiful plant life. The area is also filled with much wildlife and the quiet environment allows you to view them in their natural habitat, especially waterfowl and beaver, muskrat, and river otter. Every season has a little something different to offer and this route is great for any time of year. The put-in site is used by both powerboaters and paddlers and these small side streams allow you to escape the noise of Jug Bay.
