OUR SCENIC NATURE.
Nothing soothes the spirit better than family time spent in nature. At DuPont Nature Center in Milford, you and the kids will love the aquariums, nesting osprey, and sweeping views of the Mispillion Harbor Reserve as you learn about life in the tidal marsh. At Brecknock County Park in Camden, you will find 86 acres of recreational fields and a picturesque hiking trail more than a mile long.
IN OUR LOCAL FLAVORS.
Start your day in Dover at Spence’s Bazaar & Amish Market with its expansive Amish food options, including local meats, cheeses, and home baked goods. Then be sure to enjoy fresh seafood at one of our best local seafood restaurants. Finish your day with a scrapple flavored vodka or a Diamond State Straight Rye Whiskey at Painted Stave Distilling in Smyrna. Call ahead to reserve a spot in their outdoor cocktail garden.
BY COMMUNING WITH NATURE.
Open yourself to the sun and sky! With its tree-lined fairways and undulating greens, Garrisons Lake Golf Club sets the scene for a perfect day on the links. For a fun family outing, reserve your spot at Killens Pond State Park and Water Park with its big water slides, tot pool with water jets and more. Make a weekend getaway out of it and spend your night under the stars with on-site cabins, RV and tent sites.
YOUR FIRST STATE VISIT.
