Still a small dirt road leading to the park, and the sound of the stream as soon as you get out of the car. I rock jumped out to the big rock in the center of the stream that was my favorite spot. Very relaxing and peaceful place, and I can not wait to go back. I showed my beautiful wife this place so special to my heart, and she loved it.

Sadly, I was only able to spend about 30 minutes in this incredibly beautiful city park located in…read morea swanky section of Wilmington. We drove around and saw the locals out and enjoying the beautiful vistas, the ballfields and getting exercise in. The topography consists of a large grassy meadow sloping upwards towards hills that overlook the Brandywine River. Here can be had many views of the city of Wilmington. Be careful. It's a really steep drop to the river. Thankfully, There are many trees planted there that would discourage those with intact brain cells from attempting a descent. History nerd moment 1: The park is on the National Historic Registry. History nerd moment 2: Rockford Tower was built as a water tower over 100 years ago. From what I hear if you climb those spiral stairs to the top there are some of the best views of the city. History nerd moment 3: A few examples of statuary that were well cared for and well preserved. Of particular note was a statue of Samuel DuPont in civil war military attire at the Tower Road entrance very close to the famous Tower Hill school. Wonder why Dupont got such an illustrious statue when Bancroft donated 59 acres of his property and Dupont had to be convinced by Bancroft to donate 9 acres? There must be a statue of William Bancroft in the park somewhere. I'm going back soon to find it.

The trail on top of the highest point looking down (and a picnic table!) on all the natural wildflowers is almost spiritual. I enjoyed taking hikes early in mornings just for reflection.

Occasionally, you'll get a curious bee checking you out, but their harmless usually give a good sniff, and are on their merry way

This "state park" is bizarre to me. It's basically one long, paved pathway that has the Delaware…read moreRiver on one side, and a highway and train tracks on the other. There aren't many trees - it's not woodsy. Literally you can just walk down a long path and see the river. I came here because eBird told me it was a birding "hotspot" - but I didn't see one thing besides some Canada Geese and a few gulls. I don't think I'll be returning for birding or hiking. This pathway is really good for runners and joggers...that's about it, in my opinion. Oh, how could I forget...they also charge a fee for you to enter!! I just don't get it. There are so many other outdoor places where you can see more, do more, and pay NOTHING!

Now I'm no camping pro but I…read morerecently had the opportunity to camp with my family at Elk Neck State Park and we had a great time. The camp ground provides a few different options for your camping needs. Whether you're in the mood for the full camping experience with no electricity or if you would prefer an electrical site to plug in all your goods. The sites offer a decent amount of space for you to spread out with all of your gear. Each site has a fire pit to do some grilling and roast marshmallows and a table with benches, to hang out and enjoy your meals. A bath house with showers are also in each loop, and they're actually pretty well kept, aside from the bugs running around, which is expected. You'll occasionally see the park rangers riding around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, and they're all really friendly. If you're looking to get outside and rough it for a few days or take a much needed break from the stress of the world at trip to Elk Neck for a beautiful camping trip is the way to do it.
