Join Zack Kelleher, Sassafras Riverkeeper, for a Guided Eco-Paddle to explore the lotus filled tributaries of the Sassafras River. Participants will paddle 30 minutes to a nearby tidal pond to experience the beauty of America’s largest Native flower, the American Lotus, which makes Maryland’s Eastern Shore a special destination for residents and visitors alike.

Along the way, Zack will share how ShoreRivers works to protect and restore local waterways and why clean, healthy rivers are essential to the region’s growing eco-tourism economy. This expedition highlights the partnership between ShoreRivers and the tourism community, demonstrating how vibrant waterways support recreation, local businesses, and the overall vitality of the Eastern Shore.
