Moores Lake

The Moores Lake boat ramp in Dover, Kent County provides access to Isaac Branch, a waterway in Delaware's coastal plain region.

The site is positioned near several significant natural areas, including the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve and Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, which offer excellent paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities.
