Paddling near Berlin, MD

Berlin sits in Worcester County on Maryland's Eastern Shore, just a few miles from the Atlantic coast and the barrier island of Assateague. The area's signature paddling is on the calm tidal back bays and marsh waterways surrounding Assateague Island, where flatwater conditions and wildlife—including the island's famous wild ponies—draw kayakers and SUP paddlers. Ayers Creek and the Sinepuxent Bay are among the local waters, and several outfitters operate nearby.
