These moments are truly golden: The sun’s rays are just starting to stretch sleepily over the horizon, but you’re already ready to roll. It’s time for some serenity, outdoor-style. Maybe it’s a day for a breezy bike ride through the woods. A soothing kayak excursion could also suit the mood, or perhaps a brisk hike through the dunes, serenaded by the songs of shorebirds. So much to choose from: Stand-up paddleboarding, world-class birdwatching, even a thrilling zipline ride through the woods and across a pond. That’s the thing about Delaware: All of the outdoors is well within reach, from the hilly woodlands of Northern Delaware, to Central Delaware’s wildlife refuges, to the sun-kissed ocean beaches that make Southern Delaware such a treasure. Some will start their journey at a state park, a great choice for those who want their pick of affordable fun, from paddleboarding to biking to horseback riding. Others will strike out on their own, heading to sea in a chartered fishing boat for a wave-splashed adventure, or just settling in for a carefree car ride along one of the Scenic Byways that criss-cross the state. No matter your flavor of outdoor fun, Delaware has all you need, everywhere you turn. 50
