New Plan Charts Course Along the Bayshore

Maps walking, biking, kayaking routes to showcase natural, historic treasures

CAPE GAZETTE | Nick Roth | October 27, 2026

A group has been hard at work for the last 18 months developing a plan to encourage more people to see the state on foot, by bicycle or by kayak.

The Delaware Bayshore Byway stretches a little more than 100 miles, from New Castle County south to Milton and Broadkill Beach. Within that stretch are 19 discovery zones where people can explore history and nature.

“The goal is for folks to get out and enjoy these amazing places we have here in our state,” said Mary Roth, executive director of Delaware Greenways.

A public workshop was held Oct. 20. A variety of stakeholders presented recommendations that may be included in the final draft of the byway’s master plan.

The plan includes 24 distinct walking and bicycling itineraries within the byway. In Milton, the byway group hopes to piggyback off work already done by the town’s historical society.
