Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Paddle

Paddle where the Ospreys hatch and the Eaglets learn to fly! Containing one third of Maryland’s tidal wetlands, Blackwater Wildlife Refuge was established as a migratory bird refuge and is now home to over 250 bird species. We will dip our paddles in the shallow waters that muskrats and beavers call home, navigating through the lush, marshy grasses.

A trip to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge would not be complete without mention of the courageous American abolitionist, Harriet Tubman. Our paddle will take us just a short distance from the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historic Park, where we’ll highlight her remarkable story of growing up in Dorchester County and courageously guiding 70 enslaved African Americans to freedom.
