Welcome to Fox Creek Lodge & Adventures
Fox Creek Adventure’s mission is to provide nature enthusiasts,
bird-watchers, kayakers, and canoeists with close and affordable access
to one of the largest expanses of tidal wetlands set aside for wildlife
in Maryland, the Fishing Bay Wildlife Management area. This 21,000 acre
managed wetlands complex is adjacent to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge
which consists of an additional 23,000 acres of tidal marshlands, freshwater
ponds, loblolly pine/hardwood forests, and croplands. Blackwater boasts
the highest population density of nesting bald eagles in the eastern United
States.
Fox Creek Adventures facilitates visitor enjoyment of this pristine area
and glimpse the habitat and home to numerous species of birds, mammals,
and other wildlife, many of which are threatened or endangered. In addition
to many miles of walking and hiking trails within a short distance of
the Fox Creek property, there are immeasurable miles of waterways trails
throughout the wetland paradise.
Sincerely,
Bayard L. Taylor III
"Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you
did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

Considerations
Words of Wisdom from an old Indian saying…”The mosquitoes
are the price you pay for such natural beauty”. If you come
to a wetlands area mid-May to the first hard frost, you must be
prepared to protect yourself from mosquitoes and other biting insects.
