This is a great paddle from Morgan Creek to Chester River and Chestertown, a historic town with beautiful, fully restored old houses from the 18th century and all types of shops, restaurants, and handsome streets to wander. On the journey down Morgan Creek, you are likely to notice lots of wildlife, especially songbirds, raptors, muskrat, and fish. Once you pass under the MD 213 bridge you will come to the High Street public dock area at the edge of Chestertown. Just past this is a marina/restaurant where you can take out and with permission can keep your kayak on restaurant property. Here you can take a break and walk around Chestertown. On the return trip, paddle upstream on the Morgan for serene paddling through freshwater-tidal marshlands, forested wetlands, and upland forest. This paddle is absolutely gorgeous.
