In-Depth Information
The Junction and Breakwater Trail is cool oasis in the pines in this Delaware beach
town.
Pick up the trail at Wolfe Glade (off Wolfe Neck Road), a forested area of oak,
hemlock, and pines. Turn left to head 0.6 mile to the trail's end, or turn right to head
toward Rehoboth Beach. Along the way, the trail offers views of wetlands, especially
at Holland Glade, via a refurbished 80-foot railroad bridge built in 1913. Continue
farther and you'll find yourself flanked by cornfields and forests. Hawks, geese (both
snow and Canada geese) can be spotted in the air, and deer, squirrels, and other small
woodland animals share the trail.
At the trail's southern end, Tanger Outlets provides bargain hunters with an op-
portunity to break from the trail, shop the mall, and grab a bite to eat before heading
back into the relative calm of the Junction and Breakwater Trail.
DIRECTIONS
To reach Wolfe Neck, take State Route 1 to Lewes. If traveling north on
Route 1, turn right onto Wolfe Neck Road. (If you are traveling south on Route 1,
you will need to pass this turn and take a U-turn at the next traffic light in order

path leading to the trail.
To reach the trail's end, from Rehoboth, take Route 1 toward the Tanger Out-
lets (36470 Seaside Outlet Drive in Rehoboth Beach). There is a bike/pedestrian
