My daughter had her wedding at the Historic Bethesda Church with reception that followed at Baldcypress Nature Center, both located in the park. Wow, cant say enough about how amazing the park staff was in making sure we had everything we needed and the day was flawless. They were flexible with our set up and clean up times, offered assistance, and were such a pleasure to work with. Kelly even gave us an escort to the church on our set up day since we had not been there before. The Nature Center reception area was AMAZING with a beautiful view of Trap Pond. The outdoor patio space with fire pit really enhanced the experience in the evening hours. Pricing was more than reasonable and you just can't get a better value. Kudos to the park staff for a job well done!

If you decide to visit during the month of January, here are some tips. ✔️Bring exactly $4.00 in cash to pay the entrance fee. ✔️Bring a pen to complete the entrance card. ✔️Pack a roll of transparent tape if you would like to tape the entrance card to your windshield. ✔️Due to the glare from the water, pack sunglasses. ✔️Remember to bring your zoom lens, binoculars, and scope. ✔️Bring your own food and water. While trash cans are available, a trash bag may be helpful. ✔️Do you have enough gas? Fuel? Epi pen? Medicine? ✔️As cellular coverage is hit-or-miss, does someone know where you are? ✔️The bathrooms are OPEN. ✔️Wear shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. ✔️Suggestion: Turn OFF your music so as to enjoy the sounds of bird life. ✔️If you are in a rush, skip this one altogether.

We had a few hours before our return home and stopped at this museum. Given the cold weather, we toured the house. It is worth taking a guided tour as we learned so many interesting facts about the family, their possessions and the history of the estate. The furnishings are intact to the time when the family lived here which makes it so neat. And Alfred DuPont was way ahead of his time in so many ideas he created for the house and the things he put into it, like a back up generator; controls in his bathroom to make sure tings were working properly; bottling his water, 2 tanks with 1 for back up and so on. Fascinating to hear the stories too.

Great beach! Never really gets over crowded even when its busy there is always a good spot. The boardwalk is smaller and great for families. Definitely a slower pace compared to places like Ocean City or even Rehoboth.

We come here most often approaching from the Delaware side but we also use Pennsylvania as our base. Some trails here span more than one state. Each time we choose a different route and it is always interesting hike. The park is quite extensive and the nature here is lush and beautiful.This time we enjoyed again the Tri-State Trail and Mason Dixon Trails. Tri-state monument is a popular landmark. In Delaware there is a park fee one needs to pay. Out of state it is $8.
