I lived in DE all my life and always wanted to explore this area. I moved to FL 10yrs ago and came back for a visit and had to go exploring. It was great. I was glad to see Delaware reinvesting back n2 the environment. Especially since I saw 2 Bald eagles. 1 in Middletown and 1 in Christiana/Stanton area. Follow me

Great place for wildlife sightings! We saw many birds, a rabbit, a young deer, 2 groundhogs, and a osprey nest. The gentleman inside the center was very friendly and set up the scope so we could get a close up view of the osprey nest and young deer.
This place was amazing. Well set up and a great space away from the hustle of the city. The boardwalks were well maintained. Clean restrooms available. Lots of people out for walks, runs, and bike rides. The sounds of the birds was very soothing! Area felt very safe!
Worth visiting if you like to a long walks. The wildlife refuge starts at the end of River walk. Very scenic place especially during evening you can find very beautiful sunset. I have uploaded few evening sky shots and sun set shots. You can either walk or take a ride on bike on the bridge. This ride will go till the start of River walk. For restrooms you will have to use the ones in restaurants beside the board walk. For this you need to ride for 5 mins towards River walk starting point.
Beautiful place to walk even now in November! Very nice touches like bicycle racks and a bicycle station that had tools for fixing a bike and air pumps for the tires. The Visitor Center is a lovely place to stop and the restrooms are open at least at this point in time.
