Default Assateague

I've always pronounced it "ass-uh-teak," with a k rather than a g.

In any event, it's a nice place to paddle. Assateague, and it's sister
park/island, Chincoteague, are native american words that mean
something like "little land across water" and "beautiful land across
water," respectively.

On a related note, the Currituck kayak is named after Currituck Sound,
another nice place to paddle on the east coast (in NC).
