Southern Delaware's numerous ponds and rivers are perfect for canoeing and kayaking. Naturalist-led canoe outings are regularly offered through several of the state parks. More than seven miles of canoe trails run through the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. On the western side of the county, the Nanticoke River and its tributaries provide miles of calm waters. Canoe and kayak rentals are available at the state parks, or contact one of the Chambers of Commerce for local rental businesses. Most towns feature canoe launch points. If you've always wanted to try stand up paddle boarding (SUP) or wind surfing, take a lesson with Delmarva Board Sport Adventures. You will have a blast out on the water!
