Open Seasonally, April through October

Housed in the historic 1906 Steamboat Ticket Office, the "Yak Shack" is the perfect launching spot for exploring the sheltered tributaries of Onancock Creek by kayak or paddleboard for one hour to a full day. Bill and Mary Burnham also lead full day trips to the Seaside islands and to see the Chincoteague ponies. They do multi-day kayak camping on the Chesapeake Bay, Assateague backcountry with ponies, B&B-based Samples and lodged based trips to barrier islands.

The Burnhams are the authors of eight books including Hiking Virginia and Kayaking for Everyone. In the colder months, we lead trips in Florida and Costa Rica.
