Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Set around the scenic Blue Rock Cliff (which was formerly a quarry), the Alapocas Run State Park provides an attractive recreational area with varied outdoor activities. The park is home to Delaware’s one and only natural rock-climbing wall as well as trails for walking, hiking, biking and wildlife-watching. The interpretive Northern Delaware Greenway Trail is ideal for exploring on 2 wheels, while walkers can admire the Blue Granite Cliffs which supplied much of the stone for early Wilmington buildings. There is a children’s playground designed to suit children of all physical abilities and the park offers rock-climbing programs for enthusiasts. Last but not least, you can visit the historic Blue Ball Barn to admire local folk art.
