Great biking, lovely views!
Just a short bike ride from the end of the Rehoboth boardwalk, this is a really nice trail that totals about 10 miles round trip from Rehoboth Beach center of town, where we rented our bikes. We rode in the end of September when the weather was comfortable. It would be quite hot in the summer, as there are long stretches with very little shade. We loved it. The riding is easy on mostly fine gravel trails, with a nice long section of "boardwalk," a metal bridge-type structure that's fun to ride on. You can stop at a WWII observation tower and visit Fort Miles, an old Army fort with a small museum (we didn't go in) and some pretty impressive artillery guns to check out outside. There are benches here and there and at least one water fountain along the way. This ride was one of the highlights of our visit.

Beautiful preserve
If you like a good walk or bike ride this is the place. It is unspoiled, far from noise and refreshes the senses. There are places to sit and rest, and look outs to take a picure or bird watch. Take water though, it's a long walk to do half or all of the raised platform and paths. Dogs are welcome on a leash.

Really able to spread out. We feel safe!
I came here with friends here last year and fell in love with this place. In 2020 mid-September, we decided to visit this place again. There were very few people on the beach and we can really spread out. We spent a good morning here. We guessed that one of the reasons that there are few people around because we had to buy a beach pass for $10 per car. We gladly paid it since we know the fee serves as a deterrent for many people.
