Many people don’t realize that Delaware is home to some amazing hiking trails. You don’t have to head up to the Poconos or into Maryland to find fun, rocky trails that make for perfect day hikes. If you’re looking for the best hike in the First State, check out the Alapocas Woods Trail at Alapocas Run State Park.
Alapocas Run State Park is one of Delaware’s oldest preserved areas, and the famous Wilmington Blue Rocks are the star attraction.
