There’s still a lot to do on Wilmington’s Riverfront. Come check it out!
First up.... You can head down to the Christina Riverwalk and Jack A. Markell Nature Trail. The 1.75-mile Riverwalk offers beautiful views of the river and a chance to spot blue herons, osprey, ducks and more. Oh, and be sure to keep an eye out for the ubiquitous family of groundhogs that have claimed the banks of the Christina River near the cluster of hotels as their home. You can usually see them peeping their heads out of their burrows to check out the passersby.
The Jack A. Markell Trail is 7.9 miles one way and connects with the Riverwalk at the DuPont Environmental Education Center. It then runs through the wetlands of the Russell Peterson Wildlife Refuge and stretches down to historic New Castle. It’s very walkable and a great round-trip bike route too.
While you visit, please remember to recreate responsibly, maintaining a distance of six feet from other guests. Social distancing markers have been put down in several places along the Riverfront, making it easy to follow these guidelines. And if you are not feeling well, please stay home.
While the Delaware Children's Museum is closed to the public for now, check out its Facebook page for fun activities you can do with your kids at home, including instructional videos that show step-by-step how you can recreate them.
