Redden State Forest is Delaware's largest state-owned timberland. Its 17 tracts contain 44 miles of trail that are popular among hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers. Meanwhile, its 10,000-plus acres make for an ideal location to hunt, or simply watch, wildlife.

Before your arrival, we recommend you consult the current schedule of hunting seasons. Or, if you're ever in doubt, simply wear hunters' orange or other bright colors. Also, please be advised that state forests typically keep signage to a minimum, so a compass or GPS unit may be a wise thing to pack. Please visit the Education Center for more details, or to discover more about forestry and local ecology.
