Creek Snorkeling for Wildlife at Deer Creek Conservation Area
September 10, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
oin us for an exciting opportunity to see the incredible world beneath the surface of one of our treasured Harford County waterways, Deer Creek. With our special host – professional creek snorkeler, author, and Executive Director at NorthBay Adventure, Keith Williams, we will put on goggles and breathe through snorkels as we explore the underwater world of wildlife in a creek, a view that few people have ever experienced!
We will meet in the gravel parking lot at Deer Creek Conservation Area, a beautiful, primative area preserved along Deer Creek, which is at the north side of Sandy Hook Road, just off Route 1, parking is limited so please carpool. There will be a short hike, less than a 1/4 mile back to the best snorkeling spot.
