With over 25 miles of beautiful hiking trails PLUS some creek paddling, Tuckahoe State Park is where you want to be this fall!

The trails actually have some slight elevation gain (compared to most of Delmarva), and you can easily spend all day exploring.

This is Mutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve. It's really beautiful.

But there are some sensitive plant communities here so if you go, you must:

🥾 Stay on the designated trails
🗑️ Dispose of all waste appropriately
🐕‍🦺 Keep your dog on a leash
🚗 If the parking lot is full, leave and come back at a less crowded time

In fact, adhere to the above rules for ANY trail you set out to explore.

It took about a decade of living on Delmarva before I ever even HEARD of a paw paw! This fleshy, sweet, mango-meets-banana fruit is said to be North America’s largest native fruit tree and it can be found in the woods across the peninsula.

Look for a shorter understory tree with large leaves. The fruit ripens in September and October and easily falls off the tree when it’s ripe. They don’t have a long shelf life and do not ripen well off the tree, so you must be timely when picking pawpaws.

And avoid the seeds - they are toxic to consume, but easy to spit out like big watermelon seeds!

Have YOU found pawpaws on Delmarva? A simple yes or no in the comments, please, as we don't want to give away the best spots! The challenge is on to find some yourself!

Okay, okay, not all of these benches are on the side of a trail, but regardless, they all have lovely views.

Benches can sometimes be the difference between whether or not a person is able to walk a trail, so we love seeing all kinds of benches out on our trails and waterways.
