Enjoy A Beer, Support Outdoor Connections

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is raising funds for Delaware Greenways, one pint at a time!  Here’s how you can help:

  • Visit Dogfish Head Tasting and Tap Room in Milton during the month of August and order a Trailblazer beer from the Dogfish Head Benevolence Tap.
  • Visit multiple times in August.
  • Tell your friends!


Dogfish Head has long been a supporter of Delaware Greenways, and we are grateful for their continued support with this fundraiser.  And, how cool is it they brewed and named a beer especially for us?!

The brew masters tell us Trailblazer is a “juicy DIPA with a healthy dose of malted spelt, an ancient form of wheat that sustained ancient Romans on their travels. It brings a subtle nuttiness and spice character to the beer. On top of this foundation, we brought in a heaping dose of juicy hop varieties: BRU-1, Citra, Sabro and Mosaic.”

We hope you find time to stop by the brewery this month and raise a glass for our Trail and Byway Programs, and creating outdoor connections! 

Your support makes a difference!

New Website Will Be A Resource for Byway Discoveries

The Delaware Bayshore Byway, designated a National Scenic Byway by the United States Department of Transportation in February 2021, will soon have its own website!!!
 
The nomination process for the designation was a collective effort undertaken by Delaware Greenways and a dedicated group of people, and the website is being developed the same way.
 
Dynasty Consulting is collaborating with the DBB Marketing Committee on the content and design. The site will highlight destinations along this beautiful byway, provide drive itineraries and resources valuable for visitors and residents alike.
 
Thank you to the Delaware Tourism Office for their support of this valuable project!
 
Stay tuned for news on the website launch and a special event being planned to celebrate the National Scenic Byway designation. Both will be happening in 2022!

2020 Update -An Important Accomplishment

In early June 2020, the Department of Transportation, Secretary, Jennifer Cohan, signed and approved the Delaware Bayshore Byway Corridor Management Plan – Update 2020.  Delaware Greenways and the Delaware Bayshore Byway Management Team completed the Corridor Management Plan – Update 2020 and submitted the document to the Department of Transportation.  Read the document here:  DBB CMP Update – 2020

Also important news for this wonderful scenic roadway, is the Delaware Bayshore Byway Management Team’s application submission to have the byway designated as an All American Road.  The designation will enhance travel tourism, sound economic development, education and preservation, and offer opportunity for enhancement projects with Byway stakeholders and among their specific communities. The number of small river towns and greater community for which the Delaware Bayshore Byway represents would benefit.  Citizens and interests would take great pride in this designation.
