It's the Conewago Canoe Club in York Pa. They do not spray the area because
of the wild ponies, hence bugs when it's warm. Also, the water is warmer in
Sept than May. http://www.conewagocanoeclub.org/

How is it for the Month May (early part of ) ? Bugs ? What is your club
name ? Base in Virgina ? I will be moving to Richmond area soon.

I lead a trip there for my club, and go at least once a year to surf.
For
white water boat surfing, it's one of the few SAFE beaches to use. It
has a
sand bar offshore where the waves break, so if you get trashed or
flipped,
you're in deep enough water not to break your neck. We used the State
park
campgrounds, had a bunch of flat water paddlers who paddled the bay and
some
in th ocean too. Take bikes too! We usually go in late Sept\early Oct.
when
the bugs are at a minimum. Best launching area is in the National Park
end,
although there is a fee. I'm sure any shop within 100 miles will more
than
likely have canoe trail maps. The only danger is knowing when the tide
is
low, don't get stuck in the mud! And of course don't take people
offshore
without proper experience.
