Description

Bohemia River Paddle Come join Sultana Education Foundation’s paddling program for an outing on the Bohemia River in Cecil County, Maryland! On this trip we will be exploring the nature and the history of a tributary on the northern part of the Chesapeake Bay. The salinity in this area is much lower than other parts of the bay and this creates a unique habitat for plants, birds, fish and other wildlife! Sultana Education Foundation's public paddles are a great way to explore the shallow creeks, streams, and rivers that flow to our nation’s largest estuary. During a typical voyage, 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.     Join our staff for a unique kayak excursion on the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. Most paddles take place on Maryland’s upper Eastern Shore, and each paddle features a unique theme. During a typical voyage, participants paddle through scenic, underdeveloped portions of one of the Bay’s tributaries while learning about regional flora and fauna specific to that location.  The Foundation is taking extra steps to ensure the safety of its staff and program participants.
