The Delaware Geocaching Trail will take you on an adventurous
journey throughout the great State of Delaware. Our trail will
excite you with all of the historical, agricultural, cultural and
adventurous treasures hidden in Delaware’s three counties. As
you proceed on your venture, you will witness the beautiful
estates, gardens and sanctuaries that envelope this great state.
You will admire the early 1800s architecture of the churches and
homes in New Castle County. You will learn about the early Indian
tribes that settled along the rivers and bays in Sussex County.
While exploring Kent County, you will also be in touch with the
defenders of our State and country. The Trail will take you on a
voyage through Delaware’s beautiful State Parks and a few
special surprise locations that you may have never seen! Enjoy your
quest!

Port Penn is part of Fort Delaware/Fort Du Pont State Park and
includes the Port Penn Interpretive Center that is open
weekends/holidays from Memorial Day to labor Day.
Park at the Interpretive Center and walk across Rt 9 to the Port
Penn Wetlands trail. The trail could have a sign "Trail open
Sundays only Oct 1 to Feb 28", but this is for the section of trail
over the causeway that is Fish & Wildlife Land. You will only
go a short ways and not leave state park property so it is ok to
use the trail that will take you to old muskrat skinning shack and
floating fishing shed.
When the trail is open, it is a nice but long walk through the
marshes and out to Delaware River
The Delaware Geotrail would like to thank Port Penn for
participating in the trail and MikeOtt for placing this cache.
