Woodland Beach Wildlife Area consists of three large land tracts totaling almost 6,300 acres of wilderness near Smyrna and Delaware Bay. It also houses the Aquatic Resources Education Center, a conference facility used by groups and organizations involved in environmental education and wetlands management. The on-site ponds, wetlands and boardwalks make this an ideal location for nature study.

Before your arrival, we recommend you consult the current schedule of hunting seasons. Or, if you're ever in doubt, simply wear hunters' orange or other bright colors. Also, please be advised that wildlife areas typically keep signage to a minimum, so a compass or GPS unit may be a wise thing to pack.
