Entrance to the Chesapeake Bay

Normans Creek Marsh serves as a launchpad into the Chesapeake Bay. The largest estuary in the United States is known for many things, most notably its commercial shellfishing industry.

Kayaking along the more than 11,000 miles of shoreline is one popular way to spend your time here. Other watersports like jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, and fishing are also popular here.

Fish for oysters and blue crabs, ready for you to pick them. If you're looking to cast a hook and line out, expect to find striped bass, flounder, red drum, speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and more!

If sticking around your dock or fishing from the shoreline is your favorite, expect to catch largemouth bass, channel catfish, blue catfish, white catfish, and zabaleta.
