Oysters and Indians Public Paddle - 2025 - Sultana Education Foundation

Explore the remnants of ancient Indian settlements while paddling along the unspoiled, forested shorelines of Still Pond Creek.  In addition to viewing oyster middens left behind by the indigenous people who inhabited the Chesapeake region for thousands of years, paddlers will have excellent opportunities to view wildlife including bald eagles, osprey, and great blue herons.

Sultana Education Foundation's public paddles are a great way to explore the shallow creeks, streams, and rivers that flow to our nation’s largest estuary.  During a typical voyage, participants explore scenic, undeveloped portions of one of the Bay’s tidal tributaries while learning about the flora and fauna that make the region so unique.  Kayak programs take place on the National Park Service’s Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and were established with the support of the National Park Service’s Chesapeake Bay Gateways office.  Kayaks are provided so all you need to bring is water, a snack, and your binoculars!  No children under 12
