Featured Great Places
Glasgow County Park
Glasgow County Park may well be the crown jewel of New Castle County's park system. For one thing, it offers 250 acres -- more open space than many state parks can claim. This land is home to "Bear Mountain," a massive sledding hill that may be the biggest in all of Delaware.
Featured Great Events
February 5:
Polar Bear Plunge
The annual Polar Bear Plunge is perhaps the largest such event in the seaside state of Delaware. Every February, over 3,000 swimmers bring their bravado and their pledge money to Rehoboth Beach where, on the count of "three," they all plunge into the icy Atlantic.

Adventure
at Bombay Hook
Stretching inland from the shores of Delaware Bay lies Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, a federal sanctuary some 16,000 acres in size, most of which remains as unaltered today as it did when its nearest town — Smyrna, Delaware — was founded in 1716.
