I was in the mood to explore some new waters so I headed to the launch at Dameron Marsh. See information below for details.
The launch is a natural bank that varies depending on the tide. Higher tide makes putting the kayak in the water easier due to the lesser distance between the water and bank.
I launched just before sunrise and started with some topwaters to get the trout out. I got a few interested but none hooked or landed. I should've stayed longer at some of the topwater spots but I pushed on south around Dameron Marsh to the south side as well as down to Cloverdale Creek and Ball Creek. I landed a few fish on the day and had a great time exploring new waters. There's definitely some potential here during different water temperatures and seasons.

Public Access at Dameron Marsh Natural Area Preserve
Public access facilities at the preserve include a small parking area, walking trails, and a boardwalk and wildlife viewing platform overlooking the marsh and Chesapeake Bay. A designated "hand-carry" boat put-in site is also accessible via a short trail that accommodates kayaks, canoes and other small "car-top" vessels. A drop-off point and vehicle turn-around facilitates launching, with vehicles returning to the parking area. An online Dameron Marsh NAP self-guided field trip guide (PDF) is available to help you enjoy your visit.
