Three miles northwest of Georgetown is the largest state forest (9500 acres) in Delaware. You can access some 44 miles of trails in the forest, but for most visitors the one-mile loop through the trees at the 'Headquarters Tract' off East Redden Rd will be sufficient. The trailhead is just beyond the state forest office.
