Designed by experienced paddlers, tourism professionals and outdoor guides, the printable map and Google map on this website offer a medley of sojourns through marsh, woodlands, bay or ocean. Here, a kayak, canoe or paddleboard can take you through a wonderland of terrapins, dolphins, and ospreys. Enjoy the spectacle of sunset over the marsh or sunrise over the beach. Options abound.

On the maps, you’ll find detailed routes with approximate distances and access points plus information on parking, fees, restrooms, and nearby dining for each trip.

Remember that in Delaware paddlers are required to have a PFD and a whistle with them when on the water. Keep abreast of wind, tides, and temperature. Browse the tabs on this website for updated details on launches, paddling safety, routes, providers, and partners.
