Working to make the Park its best...

Parks, especially one as large and diverse as Cape Henlopen State Park, require constant attention and effort. We assess, plan and organize regular events to help keep the Park clean, beautiful and in good condition.

Monthly Trail Days

One of the most  important activities we undertake is aimed at keeping the Park’s trails clear and safe.  Members of the Friends,   (including family from their immediate  household)  regularly participate in our monthly trails days. This involves  trail clean ups, general maintenance  of the trails, and other miscellaneous projects 
​.
Trail Days are held on the 2nd.  Saturday of every  month, weather permitting.    Next Events: June date replaced by National Trails Day. Next regular event  July 10th.  Meet at the Nature Center parking lot at 9:00am Masks and social distancing rules are required. Thank you.
