The Tred Avon River is a major tributary off of the Choptank River and is located on the northern shore near Benoni Point. The town of Oxford is the most popular destination on the river (right near its mouth), but the town of Easton is also here, about eight miles upstream from Oxford.

Use NOAA Chart 12266.

The entrance to the Tred Avon River is locate on the northern side ofthe Choptank River behind Benoni Point directly north of the Choptank River Light (flashing white every four seconds). From the Choptank River Light, head north to flashing green “1,” which marks the shoal extending southeast from Benoni Point. From here, flashing red buoy “2” is your next mark, and a series of aids will lead you farther upstream.
