May 8 MY FAVORITE PARK. LATE 60s EARLY 70S by NANCY

I have so many memories there. It will always be a special place in my heart. My Dad and family camped there to have short trips to the ocean and bay. Great for local fishing and crabbing

I absolutely. Love it here. There are so many river areas to explore. Not much boat traffic as a rule. Just a grand unspoiled place.

Your naturalist Leslie was incredibly knowledgable and personable. He greeted every person who entered and was more than happy to share information and smiles. The Porters from DE 8/31/08
