| Surrounded by the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers, the Northern Neck is a boating and fishing haven. Numerous marinas are located throughout the waterways to provide the boater with service. Local charter captains offer their expertise to the novice and professional fishermen. Handicapped assistance is available on many of the boats, if needed. No need to worry about tackle or bait, as that is provided for you. | |||||||||||
 |
In calmer waters, propel your canoe or kayak across the tidal ponds, rivers, and saltwater marshes. Guides are available to assist you as you venture into pristine nooks and bays to view the birds and wildlife. State parks and private campgrounds offer rentals for your convenience. | ||||||||||
|
No trip to the Northern Neck is complete without a cruise on the Chesapeake Bay. Take the Smith Island Cruise or the Tangier Island Cruise to the unique fishing villages. Be sure to make reservations in advance: The tour boats fill up fast! Water life is an essential part of the Northern Neck and its people. Enjoy our waterways while you visit. No matter what style of boating or fishing you prefer, you will experience it in the Northern Neck. |
