White Clay Creek State Park

White Clay remains a rare haven for the shrinking forestry of Delaware’s coast, and those who appreciate it are working to keep it this way. Newark’s slow development threatens migration stopovers and the delicate ecosystem that abounds here.

Hikers and bikers embrace the region, weaving through thickly wooded paths, canopies, and rocky trail walls. In the winter, there is sledding and cross country skiing along the same paths.

There are also a variety of interpretive programs designed to educate the public. The importance of these havens is palpable and those who care are working towards their permanent protection.
