CommentsThis site has a boat ramp for motorized vessels and a soft launch for non-motorized vessels. This site is located about 15 minutes from Salisbury and provides access to Barren Creek which winds through Mardela Springs, eventually meeting with the Nanticoke River. Barren Creek is a popular for kayaking, and canoeing. From the ramp, boaters and paddlers can head east, under the bridge, and follow the creek a few miles through scenic Mardela until reaching Route 50. Going west, away from the ramp and the bridge will take you to the Nanticoke River. The distance from the boat ramp to the Nanticoke is approximately 6.5 miles.
