Delaware is truly a small wonder and I am certainly glad my family and I live here to experience it.
Everyday Adventure Awaits
The 6-mile scenic Junction & Breakwater Trail extends from Lewes to Rehoboth Beach for walkers, runners, and riders.
Trail Highlights
Not only does the trail offer access to Lewes and Rehoboth, bargain hunters will love that the trail runs directly behind the Tanger Outlets. There are many scenic spots along the route, most notably the gorgeous wetland views from a refurbished 80 foot railroad bridge circa 1913. You will enjoy views of wetlands, open pasture, and cornfields during your hike. Hawks, geese, deer, squirrels and other small woodland animals can be spotted on the trail. There are several benches positioned along the trail to rest and watch nature. View Trail Map
Go On An Adventure
Bike, hike and enjoy this beautiful, wooded 6.4 mile trail that winds through Cape Henlopen State Park and is surrounded by wetlands and farmland. The trail runs from Gills Neck Road in Lewes to the town of Rehoboth Beach and provides easy access to both Lewes and Rehoboth. This is a primarily flat crushed stone trail and accommodates individuals of all ages!
This is a favorite spot for families to bike, hike and walk their furry four-legged friends.
