My favorite park in Delaware.

The different tracts offer a good variety of easy hiking with both short and moderate lengths. The camp areas offered are pretty good and the Forestry Officers are friendly, informative and willing to work with you if you want to stay overnight or have fires. The planted pine forests are really awesome. And the variety of wildlife that can be observed is really excellent. I have not found it a heavily used area so you are more likely to find some solitude here then at other parks like Lums Pond which has been a real disappointment the last few years. You cannot access a fair amount of the hiking trails in the park during firearm hunting season, and for good reason, so make sure you check online or at the office to discover the exact dates of the season.
