C&D Canal at Welch Point

The Chesapeake Bay is truly beautiful and offers sailing, fishing, swimming, water skiing, ship watching and endless miles of wooded shorelines. Elk Neck State Park is easily accessible by water as are numerous other areas open to the public. The photo above is the shoreline where the C&D Canal joins the Elk River, only 10 minutes by boat from our marinas. This area is a Wildlife Management Area known as Welch Point. The C&D Canal is about 20 miles long and is open to both private and commercial boats. The far end of the canal is the Delaware River and historic New Castle, DE.
