We spent the weekend at a friend's house on the Wicomico River in Bushwood, MD. The area is really rural and quiet. The house was facing the Wicomico River right where it joins the Potomac. It is actually part of the Wicomico River Sanctuary, which meant lots of good bird sightings. We saw multiple eagles and osprey. There was an eagle's nest next to the house so we were lucky to see them up close and often.
The house had lots of water toys including a giant floating trampoline. The first day we paddled out to a dive bar on the water and stopped in for a drink. That paddle was about 20-30 minutes each way. We saw tons of white jelly fish floating around in the river, a couple folks got stung. They were HUGE jellyfish. We all came back to the house and watched a beautiful sunset, ate crabs, followed by a beautiful moon set.
The second day, we paddled directly across the river, through the channel to Rock Point beach. We searched for sea glass and swam in the water. The paddle itself was about 45 min. to an hour of straight paddling.
The water is so big here you feel like you are on a bay rather than a river. Beautiful place.
