Mysteries of the Marsh – Sunrise Lyon’s Creek Kayak

Discover Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary’s newest property, the Emory Waters Nature Preserve (formerly named the Jug Bay Farm Preserve). We will launch kayaks from the farm pier and paddle south along the Patuxent River and up Lyon’s Creek. We will explore wetlands and shoreline as we go, looking for beaver, otter, birds, and flowering wetland plants.

The Patuxent River is a relatively slow-moving river, but paddlers must be able to propel the canoe through the water. Participants must be able to:
1. Independently participate in all activities while maintaining an appropriate and safe body position.
2. Manage all personal care and personal mobility independently.
3. Effectively communicate with leaders and other participants.
Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, snack, and wear closed toe shoes that can get wet & muddy. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time. $20 per person. Proceeds benefit the Jug Bay kayak program. Registration is required and is limited to 8 participants. Ages 16 and older. Current health guidelines and registration required
