SUMMARY:RiverPalooza:  Mallows Bay (Ghost Fleet) Paddle
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Matt Mcintosh NOAA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Potomac Riverkeeper\, Atlantic Kayak\, and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on a unique guided interpretive paddle through Mallows Bay\, the newest National Marine Sanctuary in the United States. Mallows Bay is home to the largest collection of historic shipwrecks in the Western Hemisphere\, known as the “Ghost Fleet” of the Potomac. \n\n\n\nAs you paddle through the eerie hulls of the shipwrecks\, Dr. Susan Langley\, State Underwater Archaeologist with the Maryland Historical Trust\, will provide a fascinating overview of the history of Mallows Bay and explain its ecological importance. The bay is surrounded by sandy bluffs and marshy tributaries rich in wildlife\, offering a serene contrast to the historic wreckage. \n\n\n\nLocated just 30 miles south of Washington\, DC\, the historic Bay is situated along the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. Join us in supporting Potomac Riverkeeper and our partners in their efforts to promote “fishable\, swimmable” waterways and preserve cultural resources like Mallows Bay for future generations to enjoy. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrip Details\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nArrival Location:Mallows Bay Park1440 Wilson Landing RoadNanjemoy\, MD\n\n\n\n\n\nArrival & Check in Time: 10:00 AM\n\n\n\nLaunch Time: 11:00 AM\n\n\n\nEstimated Take-out TIme: 2:30 PM\n\n\n\nPaddle Level: Intermediate (can handle more advanced paddling)\n\n\n\nPaddle Distance: 3 miles/2.5 hr loop\n\n\n\n\n\nBoat Options and Costs:Tandem Kayak: $110 per person\n\n\n\n\nIncluded with each registration:\n\n\n\n\nRiverkeeper Leader\n\n\n\nrental canoe or kayak\n\n\n\nPaddle insurance\n\n\n\nPersonal flotation device for the day (with rental)\n\n\n\nShuttle Service (if applicable)\n\n\n\nRiverPalooza Tee\n\n\n\n\nNote:  Rentals are only available to adults or children 12 years and older who are accompanied by an adult. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Bring:\n\n\n\n\nPacked lunch\n\n\n\nReusable water bottle (please no plastic bottles or glass)\n\n\n\nWear proper footwear.
