Creek Snorkeling for Wildlife at Deer Creek Conservation Area

oin us for an exciting opportunity to see the incredible world beneath the surface of one of our treasured Harford County waterways, Deer Creek. With our special host – professional creek snorkeler, author, and Executive Director at NorthBay Adventure, Keith Williams, we will put on goggles and breathe through snorkels as we explore the underwater world of wildlife in a creek, a view that few people have ever experienced!

We will meet in the gravel parking lot at Deer Creek Conservation Area, a beautiful, primative area preserved along Deer Creek, which is at the north side of Sandy Hook Road, just off Route 1, parking is limited so please carpool. There will be a short hike, less than a 1/4 mile back to the best snorkeling spot.
