Cycling Lewes Delaware to Rehoboth Beach

This one was on my bucket list for a while. 

While not my favorite ride, 

it was a beautiful, scenic day. 

Delaware Breakwater Lighthouse

We found street parking in Lewes and 

rode the Cape Henlopen Trails just to explore,

these trails are rather short but connected to each other. 

Whiskey Beach (LOVE it!)

Then we set off on the Gordon's Pond Trail.

This trail is kind of fun 

with boardwalks to ride on

through scenic salt marshes, 

though we didn't see much wildlife.  

We continued south to Rehoboth Beach. 

We rode around Rehoboth since we had never been there. 

Gordon Pond Trail

It was November at the time 

so we did ride on their boardwalk 

which is technically not permitted. 

WW II Towers

From Rehoboth, 

we took Henlopen Ave to Junction Breakwater Trail

to Freeman Highway back to Lewes. 

The trail is mostly packed gravel 

and is very flat. 

Breakwater/Harbor of Refuge

With the Henlopen exploration 

we rode over 16 miles. 

Gallery of images is here.

Zwaanendael Park:
