Friends President David O'Neill Speaks at Nanticoke Water Trail Launch and Riverfest
July 10, 2010
Come celebrate the launch of the Nanticoke River Captain John Smith Water Trail in Delaware on Saturday, July 10 from 7:30 am-9:30 pm. Stretching approximately 26 miles through Sussex County, the Trail begins above the City of Seaford, following the river’s mainstem to the Maryland State line and including Deep Creek and Broad Creek.
The official dedication ceremony is at 2:00 pm at the Nanticoke River Bridge in Seaford. Friends of the John Smith Trail President David O’Neill will speak during this event along with a host of other participants and partners. You can also enjoy many other activities throughout the day, all part of the annual Nanticoke Riverfest.
The Nanticoke is one of the healthiest and most ecologically diverse rivers on the Delmarva Peninsula, with landscapes ranging from thick forests to salt marshes. A trip along the Nanticoke also takes you through one of the highest concentration of Bald Eagles in the Northeastern United States – so be sure to bring binoculars when you head out to explore.
