Blackbird State Forest

Reviewed By mekopp - Middletown, United States

It's amazing how you can ignore what's in your own backyard, but covid prompted me to find this outdoor treasure. I started visiting in the spring to ride the approximately 10 miles of trails on my mountain bike. There are 3 loops - yellow, blue, and red. Yellow is the easiest and red is the most technical. There are some sand patches on the trails, but it's pretty minor. This is a great place to ride because the trails are not heavily traveled. There are several parking areas and the trails extend on both sides of the road - I think it's also called Blackbird Forrest road. Just be careful crossing the street as cars tend to travel fairly fast on this road. I am currently visiting to go winter running. I just love running here. It's so peaceful and the yellow trail is safe and wide. I highly recommend visiting this forrest for a stroll, a run, or even a mountain bike ride.

Woodland Beach

Reviewed By PaleoGypsy - Philadelphia, United States

Depending upon the time of day and time of year you go, birdwatching might be of interest. There is a spacious parking lot, Port-a-potties, fishing pier, etc. On the day I visited, many herring gulls were within the vicinity. This is a nice place to stop and enjoy the quiet and water.

A very nice “park like” rest stop. Location has a playground, picnic area, dog walk, bathrooms & a lovely “memorial park” for victims of roadway accidents. Bricks are placed and paid for by the state for any fatality from car, pedestrian or bike accident on Delaware roadway. Very sobering to see. Easy access from rt1 or rt13. Just north of Smyrna
