Open Daily – Sunrise to Sunset – The Mathews Land Conservancy would like to invite individuals with engineless watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, small sailboats, and rowing shells, to launch from Williams Wharf Landing and enjoy the beautiful East River! We also offer picnicking in a waterfront open-air pavilion and dock fishing (in permitted areas only) – be sure to bring your license. *Due to insurance, groups of 16 or more must call Lynda Smith Greve at 804-725-9685 to reserve the Wharf for your event.
