Cape Cod offers some of the best paddling in the country, with warm waters well into October. Pristine salt marsh habitats and an abundance of town , state, and federally owned conservation land offer paddlers a close up experience of rare birds such as the Great Blue Heron, the green heron, and the osprey. The clear shallow waters of many salt marshes will also allow a paddler to observe spider crabs, horseshoe crabs, and hermit crabs in their own habitat, without the worry of jet ski's or larger motor craft intruding.
For those who prefer the vast expanse of sky and sea, their are many islands accessible from the mainland of Cape Cod, including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, for the more adventurous. Day trippers can make a short juant to Washburn Island in Waquoit Bay, where waterfront campsites are available with a permit. Cape Cod Kayak regularly delivers kayaks to public launches with parking for cars that have easy access to Washburn. Permits can be acquired by calling 1800-CAMP-USA.
And nothing, but nothing beats a sunset over Buzzards Bay!

Nova Scotia, despite it's beautifully convoluted coast, with many secluded bays, pretty harbours, and unihabited islands, has not yet been discovered by mainstream paddlers. Those who do come enjoy private campsites, sandy bays with waters that warm up for about two months each year, and the joy of feeling alone with their discoveries. With sailing and Zodiac support to make advanced exploration safer and more luxurious, Freewheeling Adventures plans and customizes inn-to-inn and comfortable camping trips for individuals or groups.
