Fun with Delaware State Parks
Beach, boardwalk, and restaurants are popular attractions for both those living close to the beaches and visitors. As much fun as it can be to spend some time in the sun and trying out new cuisine, there are also some other fun things that you can add to your day that can change things up just a bit, especially events offered through Delaware State Parks. Here are some events that are worth considering to be added to your calendar.
At Fenwick Island State Park, come and join a park naturalist in search of ghost crabs along the beach for their “Wild Crab Chase”! This event is free and all you need is a flashlight so that you can spot these animals running along the beach as they go into their homes or search for food. Pre-registration is required so please call 302-227-6991 to save your spot.
Love to hike? Why not hike the Indian River Inlet Bridge? That’s right, you can do an evening hike on this bridge at the Delaware Seashore State Park and learn about how the inlet was shaped, the bridges, and how the current bridge came to be. The cost for this adventure is only $6 per person and you must pre-register before the event starts. There is online registration that closes 24 hours before the event starts or you can call 302-227-6991 to register or find out more information.
