Fishing Locations in Kent County, Maryland

The Chesapeake Bay side of Kent County offers some fine opportunities for fishing and enjoying the beauty of an unspoiled coast line.  Additionally, between Betterton at the mouth of the Sassafras River and Tolchester Beach there are three large creek systems that invite fisherman back into the surrounding countryside.  One of the most peaceful and lovely is Churn Creek which flows into the larger Still Pond Creek near its mouth. It is the resting place of thousands of waterfowl during the spring and fall migrations, and is protected from north and northwest winds by a sandbar at its mouth.  The Still Pond Coast Guard Station is just a short distance north.

For more information about the camps in the local area, click on Camp Fairlee Manor, Camp Tockwogh or Camp Echo Hill.
