Explore the First State from a beachside cottage or cozy log cabin.
What it lacks in sizeâthis is the nationâs second-smallest state, after allâDelaware makes up for in easily accessible adventures. White sandy beaches stretch along the Atlantic coast, while inland lakes, forests, and wetlands provide ample terrain for fishing, biking, and fall foliage walks. Several Delaware state parks have cabin rentals available, whether you want to cool off at the water park in Killens Pond State Park, or fish, kayak, and canoe in the wetlands of Trap Pond State Park. When the mercury rises in summer, head to the coast to cool off. Rent a camper cabin amid the sand dunes at Cape Henlopen State Park or check into a luxury cottage along the Indian River Inlet at Delaware Seashore State Parkâjust make sure to book well in advance, as this is peak camping season. Through the colder months, opt for a heated log cabin or glampsite in the woods.
