This is a pleasant freshwater tidal paddle that winds in a sinuous corridor of low level aquatic growth backed by hardwood forests. Many of these trees have large growths of mistletoe among their branches. Access to high ground provides great places to stop for lunch. As the creek nears the Nanticoke River, the vast marshes appear and kingfishers and various herons are often spotted. To make a longer trip, explore the Nanticoke River and its many side streams.
