2026 Broad Creek Excursions

paddle from the kayak rental in Laurel, DE, approximately three miles to the bridge in Bethel, DE, and then turn around and head back to Laurel. The total trip length is about six miles on the mostly narrow, forested headwaters of Broad Creek. Although Broad Creek is tidal, the tides and wind on this gentle paddle are generally not an issue for most people with some paddling experience.

Before and after your excursion, we encourage you to enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks at Abbott’s on Broad Creek, Laurel Pizzeria, or one of Laurel’s other great dining establishments.
