Going for a hike is sometimes the best way to clear your mind and get back in touch with Mother Nature. Immersing yourself in the elements and getting your shoes a bit muddy are things that are just good for the soul.
But sometimes you don’t want to get our shoes dirty! Or you don’t feel like trekking over uneven sandy surfaces until your calves are burning. That’s why everyone loves a boardwalk hike. There’s just something so satisfying about strolling across the boards that can’t quite be explained. It enables you to experience the middle of a salt marsh without trudging through muck. You can get that elevated view of the scenery above the tall grasses. And you can ride your bike or bring a stroller through an otherwise inaccessible environment. Who doesn’t love a good boardwalk?!
The Delmarva peninsula is PACKED with boardwalk hikes. From the C&D canal down to Cape Charles, and from Kent Island to the beaches, there’s always a boardwalk trail nearby. Find Delmarva's best boardwalk trails in each region of Delmarva:
