Description

White Perch Paddle As the Chester River winds its way upstream from the Chesapeake Bay, it gradually becomes a more narrow river. Shadding Reach Public Landing is situated at a place where the Chester River basically becomes a stone’s throw from shoreline to shoreline. This creates a wonderful area to explore where the White Perch of the Bay are a hugely important species as both hunter and prey for a variety of species. Come join Sultana Education Foundation on a kayak adventure that explores the way that this part of the river and this fish impact the flora and the fauna of the upper Chester River! Participants paddle through scenic, undeveloped portions of one of the Bay’s tidal tributaries while learning about the flora and fauna that make the region so unique. Kayak programs take place on the National Park Service’s Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and were established with the support of the National Park Service’s Chesapeake Bay Gateways office. Kayaks are provided so all you need to bring is water, a snack, and your binoculars! No children under 12
