Blossie Creek is a tidal creek located behind the Bodie Island Lighthouse on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is part of the Roanoke Sound system and connects to the same body of water as the area behind the Oregon Inlet Coast Guard Station. The creek is a deep cut channel, providing a defined waterway for paddlers. Access for launching is available via a gated access road off the paved entrance road to the Bodie Island Lighthouse. This area features a crushed gravel road leading down to the creek. The lighthouse grounds offer facilities including restrooms and a wheelchair-accessible wood boardwalk from the lighthouse to an observation deck. The paddling environment is a coastal saltwater system with significant exposure to wind and tidal currents, given its proximity to Oregon Inlet and the open sounds. Paddlers share these waters with boat traffic, particularly near the inlet and the channel connecting to Off Island. The area is part of an active shellfish leasing region, so paddlers should be mindful of marked aquaculture gear. The surrounding landscape is typical of the Outer Banks, with marsh grasses and maritime forest near the lighthouse. Wildlife sightings may include various coastal bird species. The water body is classified for shellfishing, indicating specific water quality standards are maintained.
