The marshes at Jug Bay boast one of the largest stands of wild rice in Maryland, which draw both human and wildlife visitors to this area. Their graceful flowering heads produce food for waterfowl, and the marshes are a haven for numerous other birds, including rails, egrets, herons, and the rare American bittern. Join us for a canoe paddle around the bay to discover this unique ecosystem during the peak time that the rice is blooming. 

This trip is great for all levels of paddlers. Our canoes seat 2 adults, so individuals will be paired up with another paddler – if you are not comfortable paddling with a stranger, sign-up with a buddy! Children signed up may sit in the middle of the canoe. Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty.

CANCELLATION POLICY – Refunds available if cancellations are made greater than 7 days prior to trip.

Specific trip information will be provided upon registration. Please contact Lauren with any additional questions.
