Paddlers can set off on kayaks or paddleboards to explore the coves and shores around nearby Parkwood Beach.
Habitats & Wildlife
The Wareham River is a destination for spring striper fishing. Juvenile stripers called “schoolies” begin arriving in late April, heading upstream to chase migrating river herring. The river is also a popular place to catch bluefish snappers in late summer and fall.
