The wife and I took a drive over to Tuckahoe State Park (Near Ridgely) today and I noticed a guy fishing on a kayak in the lake. Has anyone fished that lake before? Anyone put a yak in? How is the access?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Been meaning to try the creek, just haven't done it. Have hiked and hunted their plenty. Lots of squirrels, nice deer and turkeys. Downside, clueless hikers and horse people during hunting seasons.
Canoeing the creek upstream can be really cool for wildlife, birds and insects in particular.
There is a small ramp and parking area at the South end of the lake. No trophy size fish but a nice, quiet park (most of the time)
There is also a put in in the campgrounds. Right across the street from the bath house. That creek takes you to the pond where the ramp above is located.
Two larger adults draw too much water for that creek though.(submerged stumps) But an adult and smaller child can make it easily. Our Boy Scout troop camps and canoes there every year.
Just a heads up watch for cotton mouth's
Very unlikely they're actual cottonmouths. That'd be about 200 miles further north than any place a moccasin has ever survived a winter. They're almost surely northern water snakes rather than cottonmouths.
A good rule of thumb is, at least here on the east coast, you will only find moccasins in the same places you'd find alligators. So that means coastal North Carolina and points south (and perhaps unofficially, extreme southeastern Virginia, south of the Norfolk area)
